Prioritizing Improvement Projects


May 15, 2011

We all have a long list of improvement projects we would like to work on. The problem is picking which to focus on now and which to leave until later, it is all about the resources available. This is a simple tool to help prioritize. Consider the ease or difficulty of implementing your projects, for example the number of people involved how long it will take. Then the impact or benefit from each using this matrix, this might be the potential increase in customer satisfaction, reduction in defects or cycle time. Note on the table where each of your project lies. This can help create discussion and clarify the priority of each project.
