How to Use This Matrix
Map initiatives into the matrix based on:
Impact: What business value does it deliver?
Effort: How much time, budget, or tech does it need?
Risk: How uncertain is the outcome?
Prioritize accordingly:
✅ Quick Wins: Act on these first.
⚠️ Major Projects: Plan and invest with care.
✅ Fill-ins: Tackle during downtime.
❌ Question Marks: Avoid unless strong justification exists.
