Prioritization of the Solutions from case study in the form of a table

Calculated RICE score of the various solutions provided in the case study using my https://calrice.netlify.app/

Feature / Solution

Description

Assumption while calculating the RICE score

Develop a user-friendly interface with strong security features

🟢 Medium

Score - 1111.11

Security Considerations for Prototype Development

As this is a prototype, building robust security features is not the primary focus at this stage. However, security remains an important aspect that demands significant effort. Therefore, it will be included in the initial development phase.

The first three metrics are prioritized with a value of 100 to emphasize the need for security features at a later stage as both mentors and mentees will put personal information across various touchpoints. In contrast, laying the groundwork for robust security features is a complex task and is given a 9.

Compile a well-curated list of resources and mentorship opportunities

🔴 Top Priority Score - 1040.00

Key for value delivery and engagement

Since this will be one of the key features, we are assuming it will reach all the users participating whereas assuming only 78% would have an impact, including both the mentors and the mentees. Feeding data and getting mentors would involve some work, hence the effort is rated as '6'.

Build an in-app community for networking (Discussions tab)

🔴 Top Priority

Score - 3000.00

Helps users feel supported and connected

Discussions tab would be one of the easiest tabs to either view, or even engage in discussions and would require least effort in creation and kickstarting feeding data would be easy too.

Create a system for regular updates on new opportunities (Events tab)

🟢 Medium

Score - 1133.33

Keeps users informed, boosts retention

Out of all the users, at least 80% may want to participate out of sheer curiously in online events and wouldn't require a lot of effort to organize a few events while partnering with interested mentors/ organizations.

Develop educational content modules

Score - 183.75

Enables independent learning and skilling

Developing educational content would be one of the most challenging tasks and may also not be needed, hence I have added a new feature which may work more effectively.

Toolkits Tab (Personal Addition)

🟡 High

Score - 1105.00

Enables awareness about real world cases and tools used these days from mentors.

Each toolkit will have widely used tools with posts from mentors and nested comments section to ask additional questions/ add opinions on specific posts.
