TRAINING // STRATEGIC PLANNING
Feature Prioritization (RICE, Weighted Scoring, Kano Model)
The RICE method addresses how to best allocate limited resources across product features or initiatives by quantifying their potential value. It assesses Reach (the number affected), Impact (contribution to goals), Confidence (in estimates), and Effort (required work), guiding the prioritization of features or projects to ensure strategic investment in areas with the highest return.
Weighted Scoring is a highly flexible prioritization method that allows companies to define and assign importance to criteria reflecting their unique values and goals. This method prioritizes efforts that best align resources with the company’s specific objectives.
The Kano Model addresses the problem of prioritizing product features based on their impact on customer satisfaction. It distinguishes features into categories: must-haves, performance, and delighters. The Kano Model guides the development of features that not only meet basic expectations but also enhance satisfaction and loyalty, ensuring resources are invested in areas that maximize customer delight.
Shadow Mentoring
A strong way to learn a methodology is to jump right in and start applying it. In Shadow Mentoring, we dive into your project and apply the methodology in real-time. Your team members are then coached on how to take the lead. This approach is particularly helpful when you want to apply a methodology to a project immediately and by the end, have built up the skills to continue on your own. Depending on which skills you are building, this may mean that we start out by spending a lot of time with your team and gradually pull back, until we are just available for remote support questions.
Training Workshops
We are glad to organize training in a workshop format. This can be done either at your facility or an external location that is convenient for your team. Depending on your needs, we can combine various training topics to address broader requirements. Our workshops are very hands-on. You won’t just be listening and taking notes; instead, you will be actively involved in experiencing the process.
Group Size
We recommend a group of at least 4 people for our workshops. The interaction that happens between colleagues is a very important part of the learning process. Similarly, we have a maximum group size of 10 people to provide enough individual attention and ensure effective learning.
Learning Material
Each training session includes materials that explain the methodologies taught in the course. This reduces the need for note-taking during the class and serves as a reference for future applications of the methodology.
