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.

Meaning, Pleasure & Strengths: A Guided Reflection to Strengthen Sense of Meaning, Wellbeing & Focus on Personal Strengths

The MPS (Meaning-Pleasure-Strengths) exercise is a simple yet deep reflection tool designed to help participants identify life elements that contribute most to their wellbeing.
By answering three core questions; What gives me meaning? What brings me pleasure? What are my strengths?, and then looking for an overlap of the 3, participants can identify their personal patterns and areas of overlap that point to their most fulfilling activities and relationships.

This exercise is ideal for coaching sessions, personal development workshops, workshops on the topics of meaning, wellbeing or personal strengths.
It helps participants gain clarity on how to live more aligned, joyful, and purpose-driven lives. It also gives insights into what truly matters to them, and into their values and strengths.

Positive Emotions Boosters or Happiness Boosters

Positive Emotions Boosters is a quick, simple, and powerful reflective exercise to help participants identify activities that spark positive feelings in their daily lives. It is great for those who would like to have more positive emotions, but also more wellbeing, or energy.

This flexible tool works in personal development workshops, team-building sessions, and wellbeing programs - it’s great for groups to exchange ideas, but also in 1:1 coaching.

Participants reflect on one specific positive emotion they’d like to experience more often (e.g., joy, gratitude, calm), then create a personalized list of activities that trigger that emotion. Finally, they take practical steps to integrate those activities into their daily routine.

Rocking Chair Exercise to discover your life goals, values and purpose

The Rocking Chair Exercise is a guided visualization activity that is designed for deep life reflection and thinking about what truly matters to oneself, through future-oriented thinking.
Participants imagine themselves at the age of 90, sitting peacefully on a porch in a rocking chair, reflecting back on a meaningful and fulfilling life.
They are prompted to explore the people, achievements, strengths, and moments that brought them joy and purpose, and to identify what they want their legacy to be.
The exercise then can be taken into diverse directions: What are your life goals/missing? What can you start doing today to make this future a reality? But also what are your values based on the insights from the exercise, or what truly matters to you in life.
This powerful tool focuses on long-term visioning and values-based goal setting, making it ideal for coaching, leadership development, or personal growth workshops.
