When to invoke
- You have a backlog of initiatives and want a repeatable prioritization with transparent scoring.
- You need to generate a "next up" list for planning from a CSV export.
Inputs needed
--inputpath to a CSV with one row per item.- Required columns:
id,title,impact,effort - Optional columns:
reach,confidence,cost_of_delay,job_size
- Required columns:
--methodone of:rice,wsjf,simple.
Workflow
- Validate required columns and parse numeric fields.
- Compute a score per item:
- RICE: (\text{reach} \times \text{impact} \times \text{confidence} / \max(\text{effort},\epsilon))
- WSJF: (\text{cost_of_delay} / \max(\text{job_size},\epsilon))
- Simple: (\text{impact} / \max(\text{effort},\epsilon))
- Apply tie-breakers (higher impact, lower effort).
- Emit a ranked JSON report with per-item rationale.
Output format
- JSON written to
--output:items: ranked list withscoreandexplanationssummary: method and any validation warnings
Guardrails
- Do not claim the ranking is "correct"; treat as decision support.
- Never fabricate missing fields; default optional fields conservatively.
Reference code
backlog_prioritization_assistant.pyimplements CSV parsing + scoring (stdlib-only).
