RICE Prioritization FAQs

Reach is automatically calculated from actual user votes, views, and engagement metrics from your feedback portal. No more guessing - use real data to understand how many users will benefit from each feature. Learn more about RICE scoring methodology.
RICE includes Reach as a factor, making it more comprehensive than ICE. RICE = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort, while ICE = (Impact × Confidence) / Effort. Use RICE when you need to consider audience size.
Yes! While RICE provides objective scoring, you can adjust priorities for dependencies, strategic initiatives, or compliance requirements. The framework guides decisions but doesn't replace judgment.
ProductLift automatically updates Reach based on new votes and engagement. Review Impact, Confidence, and Effort quarterly or when significant new information becomes available.
RICE scores are relative - there's no universal "good" score. Focus on comparing scores within your backlog. Features with scores 3x higher than others are typically clear priorities.
Absolutely! Team members can contribute scores based on their expertise. Engineering estimates Effort, Product scores Impact, and everyone can discuss via internal comments.

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. Last year, 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 four 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.
