prioriteringsbillede

Prioriteringsbillede, a Danish term, translates to "prioritization image" or "priority map" in English. It refers to a visual tool used in project management and strategic planning to help teams and organizations allocate resources and focus efforts on the most important tasks or initiatives. The core idea is to represent different items, such as projects, features, or tasks, on a two-dimensional graph.

Typically, the axes of a prioriteringsbillede represent key decision-making criteria. One common setup is to have "Impact" or "Value" on the vertical axis and "Effort" or "Cost" on the horizontal axis. Items are then plotted as points on this graph. This allows for a quick and intuitive understanding of which items offer the highest return for the least investment.

The graph is often divided into quadrants. Items falling into the "high impact, low effort" quadrant are considered "quick wins" and are usually prioritized for immediate action. Conversely, "low impact, high effort" items might be de-prioritized or re-evaluated. "High impact, high effort" items often represent significant strategic opportunities that require careful planning and resource allocation. Finally, "low impact, low effort" items are typically considered for later execution if resources permit, or may be eliminated altogether.

Prioriteringsbillede is valuable for fostering team alignment, facilitating discussions about trade-offs, and ensuring that strategic goals are met through effective resource allocation. It promotes transparency and helps to prevent resources from being wasted on less critical activities.
