Define what makes a problem a priority (impact, frequency, feasibility). Score each problem against these criteria. Create a prioritized list. Align the team on which problems to tackle first.
- Prioritized list of problems using a matrix approach.
- Clear problem rankings based on agreed-upon criteria.
- Focused team effort on the highest-priority problems.
It's tempting for teams to rate everything as high priority. Push them to differentiate. Establishing clear criteria is key. If the criteria are poorly defined, the results won't be useful.
