Project Prioritization Decision Matrix

This weighted decision matrix compares three product projects against shared criteria. Customer impact receives the highest weight because the team considers it most important. Revenue potential and strategic fit also affect the total, while engineering effort captures relative feasibility. Each project receives a numeric score for every criterion, and the diagram calculates the weighted result and ranking. The result is a record of the assumptions behind a prioritization decision, not a substitute for judgment. Review the scores with people who know the customers, technical constraints, and business goals. If a criterion matters more than another, change its weight rather than silently changing the outcome. Revisit the matrix when evidence or strategy changes.
