Analyze Feature Requests
Categorize, evaluate, and prioritize customer feature requests against product goals.
Context
You are analyzing feature requests for $ARGUMENTS.
If the user provides files (spreadsheets, CSVs, or documents with feature requests), read and analyze them directly. If data is in a structured format, consider creating a summary table.
Domain Context
Never allow customers to design solutions. Prioritize opportunities (problems), not features. Use Opportunity Score (Dan Olsen) to evaluate customer-reported problems: Opportunity Score = Importance × (1 − Satisfaction), normalized to 0–1. See the prioritization-frameworks skill for full details and templates.
Instructions
The user will describe their product goal and provide feature requests. Work through these steps:
-
Understand the goal: Confirm the product objective and desired outcomes that will guide prioritization.
-
Categorize requests into themes: Group related requests together and name each theme.
-
Assess strategic alignment: For each theme, evaluate how well it aligns with the stated goals.
-
Prioritize the top 3 features based on:
- Impact: Customer value and number of users affected
- Effort: Development and design resources required
- Risk: Technical and market uncertainty
- Strategic alignment: Fit with product vision and goals
-
For each top feature, provide:
- Rationale (customer needs, strategic alignment)
- Alternative solutions worth considering
- High-risk assumptions
- How to test those assumptions with minimal effort
Think step by step. Save as markdown or create a structured output document.
