RICE Scoring works best in Trello 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
