ICE prioritization software
ICE prioritization without losing the evidence
Score Impact, Confidence and Ease on the actual feature request. ProductLift keeps customer segments, votes and revenue context beside the score, so the fastest ranking does not become a context-free roadmap.

ICE in context
An ICE score is a starting point, not a roadmap
A calculator tells you what scored highest. ProductLift lets the team inspect why, challenge the assumptions and carry the decision into delivery.
Score the real request
Impact, Confidence and Ease stay attached to votes, comments, tags, customer segments and the original problem.
Inspect who is asking
Compare vote count with company, plan, MRR and segment context before accepting a high-impact estimate.
Move the winner forward
Turn the decision into roadmap work, connect delivery, and notify voters as the status changes.

The evidence layer
Score Impact, Confidence and Ease beside the request
ICE is fast because it uses three factors. The quality still depends on the evidence underneath them. Keep that evidence visible while your team scores.
- ✓Impact: inspect the problem, votes, comments and affected segment.
- ✓Confidence: distinguish a sales anecdote from repeated customer evidence.
- ✓Ease: capture the tradeoff and challenge it in internal comments.

From score to delivery
Move the decision into delivery
Once the team agrees, change the request status, place it on the roadmap, connect delivery work and keep voters informed. The original evidence and discussion remain attached.
Roadmap
Place the selected request in the right roadmap column and release.
Delivery
Connect the work to Jira or Azure DevOps instead of duplicating the backlog.
Close the loop
Notify voters automatically as the request progresses and ships.
