Making decisions can be complex and overwhelming, especially when multiple factors are at play. A Decision-Making Tool helps to break down the process, allowing you to weigh options systematically and make choices with clarity and confidence. A Decision-Making Tool template in Notion can streamline this process, providing structure and guiding you through the necessary steps to reach a well-informed decision.

Before you start crafting your own Decision-Making Tool, explore these Notion templates to simplify the process and enhance your decision-making efficiency.

5. Roadmap Priority Matrix

The matrix is divided into four quadrants as follows:

Build Now: Items in this quadrant are the best to start with. They should be the first priority and completed as soon as possible.

Test Further / Split: Items in this quadrant are either to big and need to be broken down, or lack the necessary confidence level to build them right away, therefore requiring more testing and validation with customers.

Parking: Items in this quadrant are in the gray zone. They might have too high of a risk factor or too low of a confidence level.

Kill: Items in this quadrant should not be built as they lack in all of the areas.

The Notion template for a Roadmap Priority Matrix provides a digital space to list and categorize Roadmap Items. This is a great tool for Product Managers and Product Development teams that will improve and streamline your Roadmap Planning Process!
