Frequently Asked Questions
How do you prevent teams from inflating their RICE confidence scores?
Enforce evidence criteria: 100% requires live metric telemetry, 80% requires qualitative user research, and 50% is unvalidated.
When should a team choose WSJF over RICE?
WSJF is ideal for large enterprise programs with heavy time criticality, SLA penalties, and market window constraints.
Can this workbook handle technical infrastructure projects?
Yes; technical projects use Risk Reduction and Opportunity Enablement factors to accurately calculate their value.
