# Prioritization — Quiz

## Question 1

In the RICE formula, which factor is the denominator?

A) Reach
B) Impact
C) Confidence
D) Effort

<!-- ANSWER: D -->
<!-- EXPLANATION: RICE = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) ÷ Effort. Reach, Impact, and Confidence are the "benefit" factors (multiplied); Effort is the "cost" (divisor). Higher effort lowers the score. -->

## Question 2

In MoSCoW prioritization, what is the main risk of having too many "Must have" items?

A) The document becomes too long
B) Nothing is truly prioritized—everything is "critical"
C) Stakeholders will reject the plan
D) Engineering estimates become inaccurate

<!-- ANSWER: B -->
<!-- EXPLANATION: If everything is Must, nothing is. Must should be reserved for true launch-blockers. A common guideline is to cap Must at ~60% of scope. Too many Musts means you're either over-scoped or under-prioritized. -->

## Question 3

In Impact Mapping, what does "Impact" represent?

A) The number of users affected
B) A behavior change required of an actor to support the goal
C) The revenue generated by a deliverable
D) The effort to build a feature

<!-- ANSWER: B -->
<!-- EXPLANATION: Impact is the middle layer: Goal → Actor → Impact → Deliverable. Impact answers: "How must this actor change their behavior to help us achieve the goal?" It's about cause and effect, not scope or effort. -->

## Question 4

A feature has Reach 4,000, Impact 2, Confidence 80%, and Effort 2. What is its RICE score?

A) 3,200
B) 1,280
C) 2,560
D) 6,400

<!-- ANSWER: A -->
<!-- EXPLANATION: RICE = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) ÷ Effort = (4000 × 2 × 0.8) ÷ 2 = 6400 ÷ 2 = 3200. -->

## Question 5

Which framework is best for "what's in this release vs next release"?

A) RICE
B) MoSCoW
C) Impact Mapping
D) Value vs Effort matrix

<!-- ANSWER: B -->
<!-- EXPLANATION: MoSCoW explicitly buckets work into Must/Should/Could/Won't, which maps cleanly to release scope. RICE ranks but doesn't define release boundaries. Impact Mapping is strategic; Value/Effort is a triage view. MoSCoW is designed for scope negotiation. -->

## Question 6

In a Value vs Effort matrix, where should "quick wins" go?

A) Low value, low effort
B) High value, high effort
C) High value, low effort
D) Low value, high effort

<!-- ANSWER: C -->
<!-- EXPLANATION: Quick wins are high value with low effort—they deliver impact without huge cost. Do these first. Low value + high effort = avoid. High value + high effort = big bets. Low value + low effort = fill-ins. -->
