Impact vs Effort Matrix

An impact effort matrix spreadsheet for your team's ideas: score each idea on impact and effort and a colour-coded 2x2 board sorts the quick wins, major projects, fill-ins and thankless tasks. The files open in Microsoft Excel and in Google Sheets, have no macros and nothing to install, and are yours to reuse as often as you like.

What it does

  • Room for 250 ideas, each with an owner, scored on impact and effort
  • A value score for every idea (impact for the effort) and a do-first rank, so you know what to do first, second and third
  • The top ideas in each box, best value first, with the owner on every line
  • A priority map chart plots every idea
  • Pick Done and an idea leaves the board while the do-first rank moves up for the rest
  • Make it yours: rename the four boxes and change the scoring scale on the Settings tab
  • Opens in Excel and in Google Sheets
