Value Matrix
Value Risk Matrix Template

A value matrix or value risk matrix is a simple grid matrix with a value axis and a risk / complexity / effort axis. Business ideas, product features etc. are then added to the matrix and positioned according to their expected value (high to low) and according to their risk / complexity / effort to implement, build etc. The resulting value matrix shows you which ideas, features etc. are worth pursuing i.e. high value and low risk / complexity / effort can be prioritised against those that have low value and high risk / complexity / effort which can be de-prioritised.

Using Method Grid we have created this re-usable value matrix template which you can use for free as a collaborative online value risk assessment tool.

Who might this value risk matrix be useful for?

This value matrix will be useful for any business looking to assess the value risk of any business activity; from contracts and strategies to product features and marketing.

You can drag/drop items quickly around your matrix and you can use Method Grid’s incredibly flexible content areas to add information to each item in your matrix – text, comments, sub tasks, images, videos, cloud documents, files and more.
