About the Idea Prioritization Matrix Tool

What is this tool?

The Idea Prioritization Matrix is a visual tool for plotting and evaluating tasks, projects, or ideas based on their Impact and Effort. By placing your ideas on a 3x3 grid, you can quickly identify which items are 'quick wins' (high impact, low effort) and which are 'time wasters' (low impact, high effort). This framework helps you make more informed decisions about where to focus your resources.

This tool operates entirely within your web browser. All of your ideas are saved directly to your browser's local storage. This allows you to close and reopen the page without losing your work. All data processing happens locally on your device, ensuring your privacy and data security. You can also export your ideas as a JSON file for backup or to share with others, and import them back later.

Key Features:

  • Local Data Storage: Your data is saved automatically in your browser's local storage.
  • Interactive Canvas: Interact with the canvas to view and delete idea details.
  • Import/Export: Save and load your idea matrix as a JSON file.
  • Privacy-Focused: All data remains on your device and is never sent to a server.
  • Free to Use: Use the tool as much as you like, completely free of charge.

Important Note on Data Persistence:

While your data is automatically saved in your browser, it is not a cloud backup. If you clear your browser's history, cache, or cookies, your saved ideas will be permanently deleted. We highly recommend using the 'Export' feature as a regular backup.

Use Cases:

  • Project Planning: Prioritize features for a product roadmap.
  • Team Brainstorming: Visually align on which ideas to pursue.
  • Personal Goal Setting: Determine which habits or tasks will give you the most return on investment.
