🚀 Apply RICE in a tool instead
RICE is a prioritization framework that stands for Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort. It helps product managers and teams evaluate and compare different initiatives based on these four factors:
Reach: How many people will this impact?
Impact: How much will it affect each person?
Confidence: How certain are we about our estimates?
Effort: How much time and resources will this require?
By combining these factors, you get a single score that allows you to compare and rank different ideas objectively.

Our RICE prioritization templates are designed to be:
Easy to Use: Input your estimates, and the template calculates the RICE score.
Customizable: Adapt them to fit your specific needs and context.
Collaborative: Share with your team to align on priorities.
Whether you prefer Excel, Google Sheets, PowerPoint, Notion, or Miro, we've got you covered:
Excel: Ideal for those comfortable with Microsoft Office.
Google Sheets: Perfect for real-time online collaboration.
PowerPoint: Great for presentations and sharing with stakeholders.
Notion: For those who use Notion as their productivity tool.
Miro: For visual collaboration and brainstorming.
While templates are great for quick prioritization, managing ongoing product decisions requires a more robust tool. ProductLift's prioritization feature offers a dynamic platform where you can:
Collaborate with Your Team: Invite team members to contribute and align on priorities in real-time.
Track Changes Over Time: Keep a history of how priorities evolve.
Integrate with Other Tools: Seamlessly connect with your existing workflow.
Move Beyond One-Time Documents: Establish a continuous prioritization process that adapts to your product's needs.

Join over 3,051 product managers and see how easy it is to build products people love.
Did you know 80% of software features are rarely or never used? That's a lot of wasted effort.
SaaS software companies spend billions on unused features. In 2025, it was $29.5 billion.
We saw this problem and decided to do something about it. Product teams needed a better way to decide what to build.
That's why we created ProductLift - to put all feedback in one place, helping teams easily see what features matter most.
In the last five years, we've helped over 3,051 product teams (like yours) double feature adoption and halve the costs. I'd love for you to give it a try.
