Scaled Agile Framework / SAFe Scrum
Master Certification Prep (SSM)
job sequencing
the key to economic outcomes
WSJF
weighted shortest job first
How do you calculate WSJF?
WSJF = CoD (estimated value) / Duration (time to ship or Job Size)
RR
risk reduction
OE
opportunity enablement
How to calculate CoD?
CoD = User-business value + Time criticality + RR & OE value / Job Size or "Duration"
PI
program increment
NFR
non functional requirement
