What is a Prioritisation Matrix?
A prioritisation matrix is a decision-making tool used to evaluate and rank tasks, projects, or ideas based on a set of weighted criteria. It helps teams move beyond subjective opinions and gut feelings to make more objective, consistent, and transparent decisions about where to invest their time and resources.
Why should your company use a Prioritisation Matrix?
Using a prioritisation matrix brings clarity and objectivity to your team's decision-making, helping you to:
Make objective decisions
By using pre-defined criteria and a scoring system, the matrix removes personal bias from the decision-making process, leading to more logical and defensible choices.
Create team alignment
The process of building and using a matrix together ensures the entire team understands and agrees on what is most important, creating alignment and a shared sense of purpose.
Justify resource allocation
A completed matrix provides a clear, data-driven rationale for why certain initiatives are being prioritised, making it easier to justify resource allocation to stakeholders and leadership.
What elements should a Prioritisation Matrix page include?
Instructions for use in a separate tab
To avoid cluttering the page, detailed instructions on how to use the matrix can be placed in a different Tab. This keeps the main view clean while ensuring users can access guidance when they need it.
Collapsible to-do list
Use an Advanced Expand to hold the list of tasks you need to put in your prioritisation matrix, so you don’t miss any out when you’re working out your priorities.
The matrix table
Using Confluence’s built-in table macro, create your matrix with scales for urgency and impact, or whichever scales you choose to calculate your priorities. When you get to filling in the matrix with your priorities, put the tasks in Advanced Expands, so that you can choose between seeing the full matrix with just the task titles or delving deeper into each one.
