You prioritize elements in a structured way,
according to criteria. When you prioritize elements, you can identify
information to support product management and requirements management
decisions.
For instance, which features must be included
in the next release? What risks are most severe? Which competitors
constitute the largest threat? While some criteria are represented
by facts, such as price and type, others represent relative aspects,
such as design appeal.
You must be a workspace administrator to define criteria.
In this lesson, you create two criteria: Design appeal and
Price. You can use these criteria to compare the cars.
- Click .
- To add the design criterion, click Add Criterion and
specify the following details.
- In the Title field, type Design
appeal.
- In the Description field, type This
criterion represents the design appeal of the car.
- Ensure that Objective is set
to Maximize because this criterion is positive.
- In the Question field, type Which
car looks better?
- Click OK. The
Design appeal criterion is listed on the Criteria page.
- To add the price criterion, click Add Criterion and
specify the following details.
- In the Title field, type Price.
- In the Description field, type This
criterion is based on the price attribute of the cars.
- In the Objective field, select Minimize. Because the price of each car is already specified in the price
attribute, you can use those values by linking this criterion to the
price attribute.
- Click OK. The
Price criterion is listed on the Criteria page.
- To link the price attribute and the criteria, in the
Estimate row, click the Edit Estimate icon
(
).
- From the list of modules, click Cars. The Price attribute, which is the only integer attribute
in the Cars module, is listed on the page. This page typically lists
all the integer attributes of the selected module.
- Click Price. On
the Price criterion page, the value Price
in the cars module is in the Estimate field.
This value indicates that the link between the attribute and the criterion
is set.
You can now compare the cars based on the Design appeal and
Price criteria.
