Impact to Effort Matrix

The Effort to Impact Matrix is a simple matrix for prioritizing tasks. This matrix can be used to compare the impact and effort of different projects to identify quick wins, big projects, filler jobs or thankless tasks that you shouldn't bother with. How to use the matrix:

• Step 1: Compile a comprehensive list of opportunities, problems to be solved, tasks and projects currently under consideration. Include ongoing operations and new initiatives that could potentially help achieve your business goals.

• Step 2: Place each task in the appropriate quadrant based on your evaluation. This visual representation helps stakeholders see where to focus efforts and resources.
