Weighted shortest job first is applied to backlogs to identify what?

Choose the correct option from below list

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) is a prioritization model used to sequence work for maximum economic benefit. In SAFe, WSJF is estimated as the relative cost of delay divided by the relative job duration. In a flow-based system, priorities must be continuously updated to provide the best economic outcomes. In other words, job sequencing produces the best results rather than prioritization based on a theoretical return on investment for each job. To that end, SAFe applies WSJF to prioritize backlogs. Backlogs are continuously prioritized based on a WSJF algorithm 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

Haha, A) Maximum economic value? What is this, a Wall Street trading floor? Weighted shortest job first is all about getting stuff done, not making a quick buck.

D) Proxy for job size, for sure. It's all about efficiency, my friends. Smallest tasks first, that's the way to beat the backlog blues.

I'm going with C) User business value. Prioritizing tasks based on their impact on the user is the way to go, isn't it? Gotta keep the customer happy!

B) Epics, Features, and Capabilities? Really? That's like mixing up apples and oranges. Weighted shortest job first is clearly about optimizing task order, not project management artifacts.

Hmm, I think D) Proxy for job size makes the most sense. Weighted shortest job first is all about prioritizing tasks based on their size, not economic value or user business needs.
