Overview

What Roadmap Prioritizer does.

Roadmap Prioritizer takes your candidate initiatives, strategic goals, and team capacity and runs them through a scoring model built around your actual strategy — not a generic impact/effort grid. It sequences items into now/next/later with explicit promotion criteria, attaches kill criteria to every major bet at admission time, and produces a said-no-to list that records the reasoning behind each rejection. Stakeholders see that their request was evaluated, not ignored.

Give it something like: 'We have 14 candidate features, a 6-person team, and three strategic outcomes this year: reduce onboarding drop-off, expand into the mid-market segment, and cut infrastructure cost 20%. Here are the items and who requested each.' That is enough for the skill to extract your three anchoring outcomes, discard initiatives that serve none of them, and rank what remains.

The output is structured into sections: a scored, ranked initiative list with one-line rationale per item; a now/next/later sequence with promotion triggers (not dates); a said-no-to register with the specific reason each item was excluded and the condition that would re-open it; and a dependency and risk flag layer. Each section is written to be handed directly to a stakeholder or dropped into a planning doc.

Who it's for

Product managers and startup founders who need a roadmap they can defend in a leadership review — not just a ranked backlog, but a document that shows what was cut and why. Also useful for consultants facilitating quarterly planning sessions where stakeholder alignment is the bottleneck.

In depth

Why a Claude skill beats a prompt template.

A copy-paste prompt runs one static pass and stops. A skill is a bundled program — instructions, examples, and a workflow Claude runs as a unit: it asks for the right input, applies the same pattern every time, and returns the structured outputs above.

FAQ

Common questions.

What input does the skill actually need from me?

At minimum: a list of candidate initiatives, a description of your strategic goals for the period, and a rough sense of team capacity. The skill will prompt you conversationally for anything missing before it starts scoring.

Does it use a fixed scoring framework like RICE or ICE?

No. It builds the scoring model from your stated strategy, so the criteria reflect outcomes that matter to your business rather than generic reach or confidence proxies. You can describe your own scoring dimensions if you have them.

What format does the output come back in?

A structured document with named sections — ranked initiative list, now/next/later sequence, said-no-to register, promotion and kill criteria, and a stakeholder framing summary. It is copy-paste ready for a planning doc or slide deck.

Can I use this for a roadmap review rather than building one from scratch?

Yes. Describe your existing roadmap and the assumptions behind it; the skill will evaluate whether current sequencing holds against your stated strategy and flag items whose kill criteria have already been met.

What is the said-no-to list and why does it matter?

It is a formal register of deprioritized items that records why each one was excluded and what would have to change for it to be reconsidered. It turns 'we dropped your request' into 'here is the condition under which it moves up,' which reduces the political cost of saying no.
