For example, if you're looking at product features,…you might have your criteria set…as most important features for persona a.…You'll start by writing down the criteria,…and below that, write most impact.…From here, you'll list the ideas,…and you want to keep that list to under 10 items.…Below that, or elsewhere, list the criteria again,…but this time write most effort,…and then list those same ideas.…Now each participant must rank the list.…So for 10 items, they'll need to order them…with number one being the most impact or the most effort…
