Prioritisation that survives scrutiny
RICE is not an answer, it is a spreadsheet. This lesson prioritises four real candidates by expected value per engineer-week, shows that the top item's lead is robust while the middle of the list is noise, then handles the parts a scoring framework cannot — opportunity cost, dependencies, the strategic item with no measurable value, and the stakeholder you have to say no to.
What you'll be able to do
- Estimate the value of a candidate project in a unit you can defend, and divide by its cost
- Distinguish a ranking that is robust to estimation error from one that is noise
- Handle the items a score cannot rank — platform work, strategic bets, and compliance
- Say no to a stakeholder in a way that survives the escalation

This walkthrough runs about 24 minutes, with runnable code you can edit and re-run as you read.
