I've created an Excel spreadsheet featuring this chart and the posting text. Is there an e-mail that I can send it to so others can use it if they'd like?

I've used a prioritization technique that is a bit similar - however instead of the quadrants being setup around dropping somthing, no-brainer, etc. I use things like 1) Reduces risk, 2) benefits user, 3) Enhances revenue and finally 4) externally required (for things like legal, etc.)

Particularly if I am working with client reps - they take to these really well.

Something goes into the no-brainer pile for us when it hits on three or more of these quadrants, and needs more scrutiny if it only hits one or two.

I like the diagram. Really true. Without visualizing it in such easy and nice way, I have many ideas that come to my mind, due to mu lack of time I started knocking many of them and go to what's called Quick Wins. No risk, no long time, decent income.

I should be moving to the right slowly though.

This is similar in many respects to Steven Covey's diagram in "7 Habits." I've often thought that someone could make a really effective to-do program using this matrix, but it won't be me, since I don't code.

Interesting post, Kelly.

I think being able to visualize priority in 2 dimensions is actually a pretty compelling approach.

How do you see this working for situations where multiple customers have conflicting priorities? Where would you plot the importance?

I've blogged about prioritization for multiple customers a while back here:
