Feature Prioritization

Prioritize Product Features with this ChatGPT Prompt for Smarter, Strategic Redesigns

What This Prompt Does

Builds a custom feature prioritization framework tailored to your specific product type and user needs.

Helps weigh and score each feature idea using clearly defined criteria such as user value, business impact, technical feasibility, and any product-specific considerations.

Supports product teams in making informed, balanced, and objective decisions during redesign or development cycles.

Tips

Define your product type and user type clearly before prompting—context strengthens the relevance of the prioritization framework.

Be specific about the goals your users are trying to achieve; this anchors feature value in real user outcomes.

Include both business and technical dimensions: business impact (e.g., revenue potential, strategic alignment) and tech constraints (e.g., legacy systems, dev effort).

Add any additional custom criteria that reflect your company’s priorities—such as accessibility, innovation value, or customer requests.

Prompt

Help me write a comprehensive problem statement for [user type] who struggle with [specific challenge] when using [product/service type]. Include context about their current workflow, pain points they face, and the impact of these challenges on their [work/life]. Consider both emotional and practical implications. The statement should address [specific aspects] of the user experience that need improvement.

How To Use The Prompt

Fill in the placeholders [PRODUCT TYPE], [USER TYPE], [MAIN USER GOAL], [BUSINESS IMPACT FACTORS], [TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS], [USER NEEDS], and [SPECIFIC CONSIDERATION] with relevant product information. The more precise the input, the more actionable the prioritization framework will be.

Example:
"Help me create a comprehensive framework for prioritizing features in our mobile budgeting app redesign. Target users are freelance creatives who need to track and manage irregular income. Consider business impact factors like retention, monetization potential, and market differentiation; technical constraints including mobile responsiveness and legacy API integrations; and user needs such as speed, simplicity, and offline access. Include criteria for evaluating: user value, business value, implementation effort, and accessibility compliance. Add scoring guidelines for each criterion."
