$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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
