DICE framework

The DICE framework, or Duration, Integrity, Commitment, and Effort framework is a tool for evaluating projects, predicting project outcomes, and allocating resources strategically to maximize delivery of a program or portfolio of initiatives, aiming for consistency in evaluating projects with subjective inputs. The framework produces the DICE score, an indicator of the likely success of a project based on various measures. DICE was originally developed by Perry Keenan, Kathleen Conlon, and Alan Jackson, all current or former partners at the Boston Consulting Group. It was first published in the Harvard Business Review in 2005. The DICE framework was awarded a patent in 2014. Although originally developed at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), this framework has become widely adopted and is used by companies and professionals alike.
