Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) is a well-known and relatively complex prioritization model used in Agile software development. It’s based on the fundamental idea that work with the highest return on investment (ROI) should be prioritized and completed first.
Examples of the kinds of things we might prioritize using the WSJF model include:
Product development roadmap planning
Long-term resource allocation
Feature prioritization
Establishing development timelines
It is particularly useful for teams using agile methodologies.
