ROI Quick Scorer

Rank up to 8 candidates (QVRs, features or tasks) with ROI Sprint Planning. Free, no sign-up, and what you type stays in your browser.

Impact (1-10): the business impact you expect if this ships and works.

Effort (1-10): how much it costs to deliver, in time, people and risk.

ROI = Impact / Effort. The ranking then builds the short queue: 1 Active, 1 Next, 1 In analysis, and the rest in the Backlog.

1. Score your candidates

The Do (ROI 1.5 or more), Delay (0.75 to 1.5) and Discard (below 0.75) suggestions are a heuristic, not math. Change any of them.

Small ROI differences should not be over-read. These scores are your estimates (evidence level E0) until you validate them with real evidence.
