What is the WSJF Framework?

The Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) framework is a prioritization model used in Agile and Lean product development to help decide the sequence in which to tackle tasks or features. It helps optimize the order of work to deliver the maximum economic benefit as quickly as possible.

We love this detailed guide about this framework from the SAFe themselves.

WSJF Components

  • Business Value: How much benefit the feature will bring to the business.

  • Time Criticality: How urgent it is to complete the feature.

  • Risk Reduction / Opportunity Enablement: How much the task reduces risk or enables new opportunities.

  • Job Size: The amount of effort required to complete the task.
