This template helps you find out which deferred maintenance tasks your team should do first. The framework balances the criticality of a task with the lateness of the task to give you a final priority score.

If you find yourself with an overwhelming amount of backlog, use this template to first prioritize the larger body of work and then figure out which specific tasks are urgent. For example, one work order might require you to inspect, clean, and rebuild five different components. Use this template to assess which component is the most critical and in need of maintenance so you can prevent major problems.
