The Signal Prioritisation Jam helps founders, product leaders, and design managers cut through competing inputs and align cross-functional teams on the problems that matter most right now.
This collaborative workshop template brings together user signals, business pressures, and technical constraints to create shared focus — before jumping into solutions, roadmaps, or delivery planning.
What is a Signal Prioritisation Jam?
A Signal Prioritisation Jam is a facilitated workshop designed to help product teams make sense of scattered signals and prioritise the problems worth solving next.
Instead of debating opinions or ranking feature ideas, teams:
collect real signals from users, the business, and technology
cluster them into meaningful themes
frame clear problem statements
prioritise them using User Impact × Business Impact
The result is clarity — not a list of solutions.
What Problem Does the Signal Prioritisation Jam Solve?
Product and design leaders often struggle with:
Misalignment between stakeholders on priorities
Too many signals competing for attention
Pressure to “decide” without shared understanding
Teams working on reactive or low-impact initiatives
This template helps teams slow down just enough to focus on the right problems, with clear reasoning everyone can stand behind.
How to Use the Signal Prioritisation Jam Template
Gather signals - Collect user feedback, business needs, and known technical constraints
Cluster patterns - Group related signals into themes that reflect real issues
Frame problems - Turn patterns into clear, evidence-based problem statements
Prioritise with impact - Place problems on a User Impact × Business Impact matrix
Create shared focus - Identify what matters now — and what to consciously deprioritise
Technical constraints are marked as context, not used to drive prioritisation.
