About this model
A matrix that evaluates use cases based on their potential value and the effort required to implement them.
Originator not stated.
How to read it
- Focus on the top-left quadrant: high value, low effort.
- Be cautious of the bottom-right quadrant: low value, high effort.
What this does
Helps teams prioritize use cases based on their value and feasibility, ensuring that the most impactful cases are addressed first.
When to use it
Use it when there are multiple use cases to consider and limited resources to implement them.
Not when: Do not use it when all use cases are equally important or when there is no clear way to measure value and feasibility.
What happens next
Develop detailed action plans for the top prioritized use cases.
