What frameworks do you use to prioritize features or hardware configurations?

3 Main considerations to start thinking about this -

1. Size of the pain point - What is the size of the problem the feature is solving and is that the most important problem to solve?

2. Return on that investment - Think about how you will measure that importance, and then maximize that metric. ROI can be revenue, competitive edge, user delight, customer satisfaction. Decide what works for your team / organization.

3. Time frames & Resources - Especially when it comes to hardware, you start dealing with longer time lines than what can be solved in 1 or 2 quarters.

Finally, use opportunity cost to verify that you are working on the most important problem to solve first. When you choose to have the team work on something as top priority, your team is (by design) not working on something else.
