Tips 1/3Quantify priorityE.g. Build an Android application that has contact information of all the firm members and the alumni of ABC consultancy.

Thought partner with clients to figure out dimensions, here are two for simplicity.

•Pick each functionality and give it points as per the dimensions

Functionalities

1) Reporting India = 3+13 = 16

2) Update alerts for Firm Members = 8 + 20 = 28

3) Update alerts for US alums = 13+ 2 = 15

So we clearly know what is the top most priority item…

Model is useful when multiple dimensions need to be evaluated for priority.

Alums 13

Firm Members 8

Firm Admin 3
