![]() Projects that requires low effort, and results in low impact, are labelled “Fill in Jobs”, and should be done mainly if they have some tactical impact over time.įinally, projects that requires high effort but have low impact are labelled “Thankless Tasks” and are often not worth the effort it takes to do them. These need significant focus and resources, so it is recommended to only focus on one or a couple major projects at the time. Other projects that will have high impact, but are deemed to also require high effort, are labelled “Major Projects”. Projects that are deemed to require low effort, but have high impact, are identified as “Quick Wins” that should be pursued. Group members assess a list of projects and initiatives according to how much effort they think they will require, and how much impact they will have on the overall organization or product. Effort vs Impact QuadrantĪnother very useful quadrant type is the Effort vs Impact Quadrant, which helps you prioritize projects and initiatives based on their predicted effort and impact. Tasks that are neither urgent nor important are not very productive or useful tasks, and should either be deleted or be addressed at a later time. Tasks that are urgent, but not important should be re-assessed, and if still deemed urgent, they can be delegated to others. Tasks that are deemed to be important, but not urgent, are strategic tasks you should schedule enough time to plan for and execute later. These are the tasks that should be prioritized the highest, and get done right away. The Urgent vs Important Quadrant will let your group take a list of tasks and quickly identify which ones they collectively deem as both urgent and important. It clearly sorts items into four lists with different recommended actions. This is one of the most elegant tools to help a group collectively define their priorities. ![]() Urgent vs Important Quadrantįormer US President Eisenhower is known to have said: “What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important.” This is reflected in a popular quadrant design, often referred to as “The Eisenhower Matrix”, used to effectively prioritize tasks according to their urgency and importance. The following are a couple of examples of tried and tested Quadrant designs: the Urgent vs Important Quadrant and the Effort vs Impact Quadrant. The labels of the axis and the cells depends on the purpose of the quadrant analysis. ![]() They consist of two axis, representing a set of conflicting interests or aspects, forming a table with four cells. Quadrants are very versatile as they can be designed with different goals and situations in mind. By mapping items directly into business driver quadrants, the graphed results focus team discussions on the most relevant issues and options. Meeting participants’ provide individual assessments of each item or option, which is aggregated and presented visually in real-time. MeetingSift powers collaboration with customized quadrant analysis for strategic meetings, helping groups efficiently and effectively assess complex situations to make better decisions. The Quadrant, often referred to as a 2×2 matrix, is one of the most flexible and powerful tools for driving innovative solutions and guide strategic decision making in meetings.
