The drawing

What a matrix is.

A matrix puts related items into a structured grid so you can compare them on the same dimensions. A two-by-two matrix is common: each axis represents a criterion, and the item’s position shows how it compares.

The right matrix depends on the decision. Use impact and effort to prioritize work, urgency and importance to plan time, or market growth and share to review a product portfolio.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a matrix?

A matrix is a grid that organizes items by shared dimensions, making comparison and prioritization easier.

What can I put in a matrix?

Use a matrix for tasks, risks, products, stakeholders, features, options, or any set of items that can be compared consistently.

How do I choose matrix axes?

Choose two criteria that directly support the decision, and define what low and high mean before placing items.

What is an impact-effort matrix?

It places work by expected impact and effort, helping teams identify high-value work that is feasible to deliver.
