Know which request to build first, and why.
Demand comes from what people did, effort comes from you, and priority is the first divided by the second. The formula is written out.
14 day trial. Card up front, charged after it ends.
Count what people did, not what they said.
Demand is votes times 3, plus comments times 2, plus views times 0.1. A click, a paragraph and a glance each weigh what they should.
The weights are fixed, so the same request always earns the same score.
Size the work in five steps, not guessed days.
XS is hours, S is days, M is a week, L is weeks and XL is a month or more.
The gap between eight days and eleven is noise, so the sizes stay honest.
Let the score put the cheap wins on top.
Priority is demand divided by effort. A request everyone wants and you can build in a day beats a huge one only a few asked for.
A request with no effort set scores zero and sinks, because nobody has decided about it yet.
Choose whether big customers count for more.
Switch on the weighted demand score and your biggest customers lift demand. Leave it off and demand counts plain votes.
You can also sort the same column by the revenue behind each request.
Weighted voting by tierWhat a clear score changes for your team
Shorter planning meetings
The score settles the first argument, so you spend the time on the second.
A reason you can say out loud
When someone asks why their request waits, you point at the score.
Cheap wins found early
Small requests that many people want rise to the top without anyone hunting for them.
Fewer pet projects
A request with no demand and big effort sinks, however much you love it.

What you may ask before you trust a score
How is demand worked out?
Votes times 3, plus comments times 2, plus views times 0.1.
Can I change the weights?
No. They are fixed at 3, 2 and 0.1, so every board is scored the same way.
What do the effort sizes mean?
XS is hours, S is days, M is a week, L is weeks and XL is a month or more.
What if I never set an effort?
The request scores zero and sinks, because nobody sized it.
Do weighted votes change the score?
Only if you switch on the weighted demand score. Otherwise demand counts plain votes.
Which plan has the score?
Every plan, from Lite at $9/mo.
Does a high score mean I must build it?
No. The score only orders the list, and you still decide what goes on the roadmap.
Where do I see the ranked list?
In your roadmap, sort a column by demand, effort or priority. The order changes at once.
What you should know first
- Effort is the only number you type.
