Frequently asked questions
Where does WSJF come from?
Weighted Shortest Job First is a prioritisation technique associated with the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). This is an independent MVPHub calculator using the same method.
Can I compare WSJF scores across different backlogs?
Only if the same people use the same 1-10 scale consistently. Comparing scores from different scorers or scales isn't reliable.
What does a low WSJF score mean?
The job delivers relatively little value per unit of effort, right now. It may still be worth doing later, or with a smaller scope.
