How do you prioritise?Does it sound a little like this?

#

#

Priority Choice Equal Duration

#

Priority Choice Equal Value

#

Priority Choice Mixed Duration, Mixed Value

Base Decisions on EconomicsDevelop an economic framework for decision makingEmpower local decision makingDo not consider money already spentSequence jobs for maximum benefitIf you only quantify one thing, quantify the cost of delay

Cycle time

Cost

Value

Development expense

RiskDon Reinertsen, Principles of Product Development FlowUnderstanding economics requires understanding of the interaction amongst multiple variables.

Why Quantifying the Cost of Delay Matters

#

12

Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF)In order to calculate WSJF we need to estimate Cost of Delay and DurationRelative estimating is a quick technique to estimate job size and relative valueFor duration, we will use job size as a quick proxy

WSJF = =User-Business Value + Time Criticality + RROE ValueJob SizeCoDJob Size

13

Components of Cost of DelayRelative value to the customer or businessThey prefer this over thatRevenue impact?Potential penalty or other negative impact?

How User Business Value decays over timeIs there a fixed deadline? Will they wait for us or move to another solution? What is the current effect on customer satisfaction?

What else does this do for our businessReduce the risk of this or future delivery? Is there value in the information we will receive?Enable new business opportunities?User and Business ValueTimeCriticalityRisk Reduction & Opportunity Enablement(RR & OE)
