good stuff. I use a simple technique that wasn&#x27;t covered: cost &#x2F; benefit ratio.  Rate items on cost (dev, op, etc) and benefits (rev, profit, users, etc) on a 1 to 10 scale.  Items with a high cost&#x2F;benefit ratio go to the top of the backlog.<p>You can do a more complex version to account for variability in confidence in your scoring.
