How do you frame the first iteration/s of a product or feature? How do you decide where to start building it? We like to use the ICE scoring framework to help us prioritize our ideas based on Impact, Confidence, and Effort.

This episode is a tutorial where we show you step by step how we create an idea bank and go through the process of evaluating the different ideas using ICE scoring. We use a real example from our experience defining the first iteration of a video-consultation tool to provide telemedicine services.

For the process of ICE scoring, first, you need to define a clear outcome of the project and a target group of users for your first iteration. Then, you brainstorm the ideas of the features that your product will have. Once you are happy with the list of ideas, you have to assess them towards the outcome and target users, as well as compare them between each other based on:
- How impactful each idea can be towards our outcome
- How confident you feel about this idea based on evidence, data or intuition
- How hard you asses it will be to build  In this tutorial we use a google spreadsheet to brainstorm and score the ideas

You can use our free ICE score template  

ICE score it’s not a way to create a backlog, it’s just a tool for the team to generate, discuss, assess and prioritize your ideas! If you want to learn more about how to prioritize the features to build, check our episode How to Prioritize and Choose the Features to Build
