A priortization process has been developed and used to derive weights of importance for the criteria in tradeoff studies and to priortize goals, customer needs, capabilities, risks, directives, initiatives, issues, activities, requirements, technical performance measures, features and functions

To effectively priortize things, you should consider Risk, Criticality to Mission Success, Commitment, Business Value, Priority of Scenarios, Architecture, Benefit, Cost, Benefit to Cost Ratio, When it is Needed, Safety, Frequency of Use, Implementation Time, Complexity, Implementation Difficulty, Stability, Dependencies, Infrastructure and Reuse Potential.
