Prioritization is where product leadership gets tested.
Balancing technical constraints, stakeholder agendas, and long-term goals is hard. Even experienced PMs get stuck in opinion-driven debates or lose clarity under pressure.
This new Patreon-exclusive article in the Roadmap to Mastery series explores how to lead prioritization with structure, confidence, and buy-in.
Inside the article:
- Why prioritization remains difficult even with tools like RICE
- How to use RICE to align teams and make transparent trade-offs
- Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
- A real-world case study showing how one team used RICE to streamline planning, improve collaboration, and increase retention
What You’ll Learn:
- How to apply RICE as a decision-support tool, not just a scoring formula
- Techniques to prepare, gather support, and lead high-stakes prioritization conversations
- A repeatable process to reduce bias and promote shared understanding
- Lessons for both PMs and CPOs looking to improve how their teams decide
