Step 1: Draw the chart. The impact line should be on the left and has arrows both up and down. This ensures we are aware our chart is unbounded. The effort line will be perpendicular to the impact line and about ¼ of the way up the impact line. We want most of our space focused on the positive impact area. Charting items we expect to have a negative impact means we won’t lose track of them, and can revisit them later if we find ways of reducing the effort involved. You may recall that impact is often dependent on effort, and so reducing effort may increase impact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645930bc4f1c827fb9437fc6/4c6b2b90-6048-4910-8da8-bba8046b26f9/Replace+your+2x2+-+Diagram+%232.png Archive - Replace your 2x2 Impact vs. Effort Matrix! - Diagram #2: Chart w/ Ideas and dividing lines Step 3: Split the chart by drawing 3 lines. First draw a line that bisects the effort and impact lines, starting from where the lines met. Then bisect each of the two new resulting sections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645930bc4f1c827fb9437fc6/e15d06f0-a6fe-42e8-93ee-8db5ac15e371/Replace+your+2x2+-+Diagram+%233.png Archive - Replace your 2x2 Impact vs. Effort Matrix! - Diagram #3: Corrected Impact vs. Effort Prioritization Chart. Alphabetized by priority order. Step 4: Label the sections, rotating from the top left to the bottom right as follows. “Highest Return, Do First.” “Strong Candidates, Do Second.” “Valuable Fillers, Do Third.” “Risky Chaff, Be Cautious.” And for the bottom section, label that “Money Pit” https://www.claytonkjos.com/archive/6-major-flaws-that-make-the-impact-vs-effort-matrix-obsolete monthly 0.5 2023-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645930bc4f1c827fb9437fc6/f7a71469-7cfb-4a03-9f8a-d888aaee8678/6+Major+Flaws+-+Diagram+%231.png Archive - 6 Major Flaws that make the Impact vs. Effort Matrix Obsolete - Make it stand out Diagram #1: Variant of the Impact Effort Matrix with arrows from the center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645930bc4f1c827fb9437fc6/02617dac-86b7-4e77-8e5e-1ec6c32245df/6+Major+Flaws+-+Diagram+%232.png Archive - 6 Major Flaws that make the Impact vs. Effort Matrix Obsolete - Make it stand out Diagram #2: Variant of the Impact Effort Matrix with the scale on the left and bottom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645930bc4f1c827fb9437fc6/3b64d2db-6c88-4234-b713-d538ff7f30c1/6+Major+Flaws+-+Diagram+%233.png Archive - 6 Major Flaws that make the Impact vs. Effort Matrix Obsolete - Make it stand out Diagram #3: Order the quadrants are typically prioritized using the matrix alone.

In Diagram #5, three tasks each share the same priority score but are each in a different quadrant. Based on the standard behavior for the EvI Matrix, task B would be tackled immediately, task A would be broken down, and task C would perhaps not get done at all. However, they are all the same effective priority! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645930bc4f1c827fb9437fc6/0fd755da-79b0-4a66-a9b9-71cbc63d4007/6+Major+Flaws+-+Diagram+%236.png Archive - 6 Major Flaws that make the Impact vs. Effort Matrix Obsolete - Diagram #6: Chart showing very closely prioritized tasks, but in different quadrants. We can also see in Diagram #6, that items very close to the center of the chart might have 4 completely different quadrant assignments. As a result, these tasks will be treated completely differently even though the difference in priority score is marginal at best (and identical for items A and C). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645930bc4f1c827fb9437fc6/7db89c29-fdf0-4627-82b4-eb5d060c7907/6+Major+Flaws+-+Diagram+%237.png Archive - 6 Major Flaws that make the Impact vs. Effort Matrix Obsolete - Diagram #7: Independent Impact Chart with overlays to highlight where our zero line is. When effort and impact are independent variables (or you happen to use them that way), then there would be some non zero, positive sloped line that represents the threshold at which there is zero net benefit as in Diagram #7. Below that line you start moving into unprofitable, net negative returns (see Flaw #3). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645930bc4f1c827fb9437fc6/9b34ea04-c443-466d-b610-f60c316cb856/6+Major+Flaws+-+Diagram+%238.png Archive - 6 Major Flaws that make the Impact vs. Effort Matrix Obsolete - Diagram #8: Dependent Impact Chart that looks like the charts we’ve been using.
