Compare Features

Requirements
Two or more features or options to compare
2

Gather context on each option:

  • What problem does it solve?
  • Who benefits and how much?
  • What's the expected effort?
  • What's the confidence level?
  • Are there dependencies or risks?
3

Create a comparison framework:

IMPACT COMPARISON

  • Which has broader reach?
  • Which has deeper impact per user?
  • Which aligns better with current goals?

EFFORT COMPARISON

  • Which is faster to ship?
  • Which has more hidden complexity?
  • Which requires more cross-team coordination?

RISK COMPARISON

  • Which has more unknowns?
  • Which is more reversible?
  • What could go wrong with each?

STRATEGIC FIT

  • Which advances the roadmap better?
  • Which unlocks future work?
  • Which better serves target users?
4

Provide a recommendation:

  • Clear ranking with reasoning
  • Key factors that drive the recommendation
  • What would change the ranking
  • Suggestion for what to do with the lower-ranked option
