Impact Effort Matrix for Software Requirements Prioritization

The Impact Effort Matrix allows prioritizing the implementation of requirements or product functionalities by considering the implementation cost and its impact on the product. Our proposed matrix is tailored to the process of Software Requirements Management and product development. Therefore, we understand Effort as the Implementation Cost, expressed in Scrum Points, and evaluate Impact while working with the matrix using group knowledge and intelligence or through the "Kano Model" exercise. The latter helps structure the discussion about Impact.

Multitasking Myth

A short, two-round game shows the cost of switching tasks in under 15 minutes.

Participants complete the same data sets twice. First, they switch between tasks (multitasking). Then, they finish one task before starting the next (mono-tasking).

The change in speed and accuracy is clear and hard to deny. It works because people do not just hear that multitasking is inefficient, they feel it. The first round is stressful and slow. The second round is calm and fast.

🌐 Online A ready-to-run digital version of this game is available at https://facilitatorkit.co/multitasking-myth-online. The facilitator creates a session and shares a link — participants join in their browser and play on their own device. Results and charts are generated automatically at the end.

Co-Development-Session

Co-Development ist eine Methode der kollektiven Intelligenz. Es ist ein Ansatz zur Kompetenzentwicklung, bei dem Teilnehmer voneinander lernen und ihre beruflichen Erfahrungen miteinander teilen. Für das individuell und mit der Gruppe durchgeführte Brainstorming empfiehlt sich ein strukturiertes Konsultationsverfahren zu den Themen, die von den Mitgliedern der Gruppe vorgebracht werden.
