Easy Value Determination with the Value Framework
summary
A simple scoring tool with five factors rates each backlog item independently (financial impact, customer opportunity, compliance, enablers, team benefit), scores sum to a value (0–25, later scaled to ~100), and teams added ratings to Jira with a short justification. The framework halves live prioritization time, surfaces a surprising threshold—~15 is already high—prevents loudest-voice wins, exposes cross-team skill gaps, and keeps technical enablers visible; watch for guideline gaps and owners padding scores.
