Summary: 
 

In a flow-based system, Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) is a prioritization technique utilized to prioritize backlog that contains features. Backlogs are continuously prioritized based on a WSJF calculation that uses relative user and business value, time criticality, risk reduction and/or opportunity enablement, and job size. WSJF also conveniently and automatically ignores sunk costs, a fundamental principle of Lean economics.

Features that can deliver the most value in the shortest duration provide the best economic return. WSJF calculation involves considering the following aspects:

• Make economic choices continuously that benefit customer outcomes and ROI
• Job sequencing based on multiple factors produces the best results compared to prioritization based on unvetted one dimensional ROI thinking
• Ignore the sunk cost

• Enable flow-based thinking (Lean thinking mindset and model)

 

Takeaways:

  • If you only quantify one thing, quantify the cost of delay
  • Decentralize decision making process at appropriate levels to enable flow
  • Make economic choices continuously that benefit customer outcomes and ROI
  • Job sequencing based on multiple factors produces the best results compared to prioritization based on unvetted one dimensional ROI thinking
  • Ignore the sunk cost
