$100 Technique

In the $100 technique the priorities are decided by giving each requirement a share of a total budget of 100 dollars. This means in practice that each requirement is given a percentual rate of significance according to the currently used criteria. If a large number of requirements are being prioritized, the $100 limit can be extended to $1000 to make it easier to divide the money.

Note: If this window is opened after an initial prioritization with the Planning Game technique, the order of the requirements in the table must be sustained when assigning priorities. This means that you cannot assign a higher value to a requirement positioned in a lower row.

How to use this window:

  1. Choose the prioritization criteria to start with by using the combobox in the upper right corner of the window. This combobox will be disabled when the first value has been assigned to a requirement.
  2. Choose if $100 or $1000 shall be used as a limit for the prioritization. This parameter can be changed anytime until the Next Criteria button is pressed for the first time.
  3. Assign a value to a requirement by clicking the $-field and then type in the desired amount. If you leave a requirement unassigned, it will receive $0.
  4. When all $100/$1000 has been assigned for the first criteria, press Next Criteria to prioritize after the last criteria. Note: When the prioritization is done after an initial Planning Game prioritization, the Done button shall be pressed instead to return to the Planning Game window.
  5. When both criteria have been completed, you can choose to finish the prioritization or let another user repeat the prioritization. When the latter is done, the average value for each requirement will be calculated and used as the priority.
