Good question. This isn't for PMs. This actually should not be used for large/ group projects. As you rightly said, a PM will put everything in top-right. This was intended for self-prioritization.

The imaginary PM stereotype everyone likes to bash would do that, real teammates you work with that respect your time will work with you to plot things in a way that better reflects the team/organization’s shared priorities :) Don’t sell this short because of an imaginary threat (rampant PM abuse)!

  Fair enough, that's a good point. My spouse is a PM and when I asked them to use this, they actually ended up using all quads except for Bottom Right (Low Impact, High Urgency). So your points stands, a competent team will correctly prioritise.

    What people do you have? Every owner will put it in top right corner. The reason is organizational neglect and lack of due process. Just happened again some weeks ago, and due to org, was sadly necessary.

      Haha, take the other people out of the equation. This is more about self-prioritization. How your team/ org works/ prioritises depends on a variety of factors and I do not think any single framework will serve all those. This is not even attempting to solve that need.

        It's a neat idea, though I too started over-engineering planning for myself. Over time a simple text-list works well for me. Quadrants is more a communication and collaboration tool. Looks like nice work though. Besides, if someone asks, they always get response.

        Yeah, planning is a double edged sword. And I don't believe one tool works for everyone or all needs. Our brains and thought processes are too varied to all fit in opinionated frameworks. Yeah, I posted here for the feedback/ response. Trying to improve my understanding of UX/UI and no better way than to get users to tell you :D
