Guide and Best Practices

RICE is a simple tool that helps you categorize your workload and estimate the importance of each task. It assigns a tangible score to each activity so you can decide how you will prioritize your work.

Open a RICE framework template on Creately, you can invite others to join the canvas and add tasks and inputs to determine a commonly agreed-upon score for each task.
Evaluate your reach: Determine how many people will your project affect. Reach is usually measured by the number of people impacted within a given period of time. Assigning tangible data will help you come up with a more meaningful RICE score.
Estimate the impact: Impact measures the consequence of your reach and the effect it will have. Impact can be hard to quantify so teams usually use a scale of 1 to 3 to estimate low, medium and high impact tasks.
Determine confidence: Confidence is evaluated by how certain you are that an action you take will have the desired result. Confidence is usually measured as a percentage.
Consider effort: With time and resources limited you need to determine if a task is worth it. Think about the amount of time it will take to execute a project. Effort is measured in person-months, which is the work that one team member can complete in one month.
Calculate RICE score: Just follow the simple calculation, multiply reach, impact and confidence and divide by total effort.
Once you have calculated a rice score for each task you can better assess your priorities and begin to focus on the things that matter.
