Relative weighting is a prioritization approach that considers both the positive benefit of the presence of a feature and the negative impact of its absence. Each theme or epic being considered for the next release is assessed in terms of the benefits it will bring if implemented and the penalty that will be incurred if it is not implemented. The benefit and penalty for each theme or epic are assigned values from 0 (low) to 9 (high).

To use this worksheet, add as many rows as you have themes or epics to consider. Enter a value from 0-9 into the relative benefit and penalty columns for each. Then enter an estimate of the development effort for each in that column. Estimates can be given as story points, ideal days, financial amounts, or any other value.
