Basic Weighted Pugh Matrix Template Example
How to Complete the Pugh Matrix 1. List Solutions: In the "Solutions / Ideas" section, enter your potential solutions. 2. Define Criteria: Review the "Criteria" section to ensure it reflects the factors important to your evaluation. Common criteria include cost efficiency, implementation time, scalability, ease of use, reliability, maintenance requirements, customer satisfaction potential, risk level, resource availability, and alignment with objectives. 3. Assign Weights: For each criterion, assign a weight based on its importance (e.g., 1 5, where 5 is the most important). 4. Score Solutions: For each solution, assess whether it is the same, better, or worse than the current or baseline solution. In the "Base Score" column, assign 1 for worse, 2 for the same, 3 for better. 5. Calculate Weighted Scores: Multiply the base score by the weight for each criterion. Sum these values for each solution to determine the weighted score. 6. Compare Results: Review the total weighted sums for each solution. The solution with the highest score generally represents the best option.
