2x2 Prioritisation Matrix Notion Template

About this template

Make faster, more structured prioritisation decisions with a visual 2x2 matrix in Notion. Compare ideas, features, projects or risks against value and effort to identify where your team should focus.

The matrix organises items into four quadrants — High Stakes, Easy Gains, Resource Drains and Potential Interests — making priorities easier to discuss and compare. Use the included guidance to assess business value, consider risk and build agreement around what should happen next.

Designed for product managers, startup teams and strategic planning, the template provides a simple framework for turning competing priorities into clearer decisions.
