# Use case prioritisation decision-making matrix

This matrix provides a means for use case communities to prioritise support for use cases based on their:

1. Potential impact/value (against the [OA strategic objectives](/introducing-the-framework/context.md))
   * Low
   * Medium
   * High
2. Urgency (with which the use case must be delivered against, for example due to funding or contractual requirements or for an event with a specific date)
   * Long-term
   * Medium-term
   * Immediate

The top row from left to right is high impact and long-term urgency with a score of 4, high impact and medium-term urgency with a score of 5 and high impact and immediate urgency for a score of 6. The second row from left to right is medium impact and long-term urgency for a score of 3, medium impact and medium-term urgency for a score of 4 and medium impact with immediate urgency for a score of 5. The bottom row is low impact and long-term urgency for a score of 2, low impact and medium-term urgency for a score of 3 and low impact and immediate urgency for a score of 4."><figcaption><p>Use case prioritisation decision-making matrix</p></figcaption></figure>
