Project Picker - Which projects to quote?

I needed a method to clarify what a good project to take on is. These factors are always floating in my head but easy to forget an aspect so I wanted a visual diagram to remind myself as I consider projects.

The three main qualities are:

  1. Profit - is it a profitable project with low financial risk?

  2. Easy - Is it easy to quote, a good client, and no-rush timeline?

  3. Ideal Work - is the job something that we are uniquely qualified to do, or exciting and innovative, or a sure success?


A project needs to exist in 2/3 circles to be a good project for us. Bare minimum it has to qualify in one and an ideal project fits in the center crossing over all three.
