The effort-value matrix is a magical thing. We use it to prioritize everything at all levels of scale. Yearly initiatives, quarterly goals, what to do this week, bugs, new hires, bizdev prospects, technical approaches,etc, etc. If people disagree on where a thing should sit in the matrix then a productive discussion usually ensues. If a thing is really valuable and really hard, we break it into smaller pieces. If someone's pet project is lower value than other easier things, we deprioritize it with no hard feelings. It's crazy to me that the effort/value matrix is not a core part of tools like JIRA/Trello. Subtask[1] does a pretty good job with this though. [1]: https://subtask.co https://subtask.co
