/prioritize

Prioritize a backlog of tasks using structured scoring and dependency analysis.

Steps

1. Gather the list of tasks to prioritize:
2. Score each task on key dimensions (1-5 scale):
3. Calculate priority score:
4. Identify dependencies:
5. Group tasks into priority tiers:
6. Verify the total effort fits the sprint capacity.
7. Present the prioritized backlog with reasoning.

Format

Sprint Backlog:
  P0 (Must Do):
    - <task> [Impact: X, Effort: X, Score: X]
  P1 (Should Do):

Rules

• Score every task consistently using the same criteria.
• Dependencies override scores (blockers go first regardless of score).
• Do not overcommit: total effort must not exceed 80% of capacity.
