Prioritize sprint ideas with ICE

Score each idea from 1–3 on three criteria.

ImpactIf successful, how much will this move the MTM?1 = Low · 2 = Medium · 3 = High
ConfidenceHow confident are we that it will produce that impact?1 = Low · 2 = Medium · 3 = High
EaseHow easy is it to deliver, given the time and resources required?1 = Hard · 2 = Moderate · 3 = Easy

ICE score = Impact + Confidence + Ease

Total: 3–9. Higher scores get priority.

Base confidence on evidence: previous results, customer conversations, or a small test, not enthusiasm.

Compare ideas, discuss the assumptions behind the scores, and choose the highest-scoring idea that fits your sprint capacity.
