ICE scoring for quick triage, MoSCoW for release scoping, Kano for feature-type awareness — match ceremony to stakes.

Score quarterly, argue the outliers (disagreement is the information), decide with strategy as tiebreak, and publish the reasoning — the backlog inherits the discipline.

Skipping the discipline this article describes until an incident, audit, or stalled project forces it — every practice above is cheaper adopted early than retrofitted under pressure.
