CRO Prioritisation Frameworks: ICE and PIE

Most teams have more test ideas than time. Prioritisation frameworks like ICE and PIE turn a long, unranked list into an ordered roadmap so you run the ideas most likely to pay off first.

We use these frameworks to build the test roadmap inside our conversion optimisation service. We prioritise tests for businesses across Brisbane and Adelaide.

Why you need to prioritise

Testing capacity is limited by traffic and time. Without a method to rank ideas, teams test whatever shouts loudest, not what is likely to move the most revenue.

How ICE and PIE score ideas

Both frameworks score each idea on a few simple factors, then sort by the total. The point is a shared, honest ranking, not a perfect formula.

PIEPotential, Importance, Ease

Using the score the right way

Score each idea, sort the list and test from the top. Revisit scores as you learn, since a result that lifts confidence in a related idea should push it up the queue.

Treat the scores as a conversation starter, not a verdict. The ranking aligns the team; judgement still decides ties.
