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