Using GitHub for RICE Scoring

Dominant platform for source control and collaboration — used by 100M+ developers, making it the de facto standard for open-source and most commercial software teams. When combined with RICE Scoring, this makes GitHub a strong candidate for teams who want a structured, repeatable workflow without sacrificing flexibility. RICE Scoring works best in GitHub when you leverage its custom fields to implement the framework's key practices directly in the tool your team already lives in.

About RICE Scoring

RICE Scoring prioritises initiatives using a formula: (Reach × Impact × Confidence) ÷ Effort, producing a comparable score that removes gut-feel from prioritisation debates.

•Reach: how many users are affected per period?

•Impact: how much does this move the needle per user (0.25–3)?

•Confidence: how certain are you of your estimates (20%–100%)?

•Effort: total person-months across all roles
