Description

User story

As a Central Ops manager, I need a standard prioritisation framework so we can compare demand consistently across portfolios.

Description

Define the prioritisation criteria, scales, and optional weights used to score and rank DemandRequests.

Acceptance criteria
  • List of prioritisation criteria agreed (e.g. strategic alignment, user impact, statutory/legal driver, risk reduction, readiness, cost/resource impact)
  • Each criterion has:
    • A clear description
    • A defined scale (e.g. 1–5 or low/medium/high mapped to numeric values)
  • Optional weighting for each criterion is defined and documented (if weighting is used)
  • Formula for overall priority score is documented (e.g. weighted sum)
  • Criteria and weights stored as configuration, not hard-coded in multiple places
  • Framework reviewed and agreed with key stakeholders (Central Ops, leadership)
Non-functional
  • Approach is flexible enough to add or adjust criteria in future without major code changes
