Ana drops by your office: $$I just left a difficult lunch meeting with Hilda. She$$s just seen some recent education statistics and is very upset. School recesses are being cut back across the country. It$$s not a good sign for the playground equipment industry. Hilda made it clear that she wants answers from our strategy team$$fast$.$We need to prioritize. We$$ll only have time to focus on the critical issues$$those that will provide the greatest impact in the most efficient way. There are all kinds of ways to prioritize. It$$s up to you to decide how you want to do it$.$

As Ana said, there are many ways to prioritize your issue tree$$one good way is to map issues onto a two$-$by$-$two prioritization matrix. You just need to figure out what$$s most important to this project and then assess your issues against those criteria.

So$,$ what is most important to the Legeplads case? In thinking about the most important criteria, consider the nature of the problem, stakeholder expectations, project scope, and constraints. Think about what you$$ve learned about the case so far, and keep in mind Hilda$$s recent concerns about finding a solution fast.
