Verified purchaseSolid framework, needs a bit of Excel knowledge
Our operations team used this for a process improvement workshop and the PICK Chart quadrant layout worked really well. We filled the chart with sticky notes during the session, then I transferred everything into the Action List afterward. The VALUE/Difficulty columns made it easy to verify quadrant placement -- if something was HIGH/EASY it should be in IMPLEMENT, and I could check against the chart. One minor thing: the printing setup (select A1:D37, choose Selected Cells) took me a couple tries to get right. Would be great if there were a pre-set print area. Otherwise, excellent template for the price.

Verified purchaseSimple framework, immediate impact
I'm a solo consultant who tends to say yes to too many client projects. A friend suggested the PICK framework, and this template made it actionable. I listed all my current opportunities on the PICK Chart sheet, honestly rated each by payoff and difficulty, and was shocked to see how many fell into the KILL quadrant. The Action List then helped me track the 3 IMPLEMENT projects with actual due dates and completion percentages. The 5 sample tasks (Task 0-4) were helpful as examples -- I could see how VALUE and DIFFICULTY mapped to each quadrant. Clean, no-nonsense template.
David Okonkwo
Startup founder
Verified purchaseGreat for my team's prioritization sessions
My 5-person startup had a backlog of 30+ feature ideas and no structured way to decide what to build next. This PICK Chart template changed that. We projected the chart during a team meeting, placed each feature idea into one of the 4 quadrants (IMPLEMENT, CHALLENGE, POSSIBLE, KILL), and within 2 hours had a clear roadmap. The Action List sheet was perfect for tracking the IMPLEMENT items -- we assigned owners and due dates right there. The built-in methodology instructions kept the session focused. We now use this every quarter for sprint planning.
