Which features require my attention?

Go to the business question How do we manage our program flow? > Program Backlog.

Identify the features where values are incomplete regarding the cost, cost of delay, and the Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF). Focus on any features with a yellow exclamation symbol in the Cost of Delay, Cost, or WSJF columns.

To address the data quality issues for these features, ensure that the following is completely evaluated:

• Cost of Delay: Navigate to the content area of the feature and go to the Evaluation view. Specify the following indicators:
  • User - Business Value: Evaluate the impact of delaying the realization of the feature in terms of the impact to the customer or the business due to potential issues like user preference, decreased business revenue, potential penalties, etc.
  • Time Criticality: Evaluate the impact of delaying the realization of the feature in terms of its criticality for the customer or business due to potential issues like missed deadlines and milestones, decrease in customer satisfaction, etc.
  • Risk Reduction - Opportunity Enable: Evaluate the impact of delaying the realization of the feature in terms of the reduction of risk to the delivery, access to new information, or the enablement of new business opportunities.
• Cost: Navigate to the content area of the feature and go to the Evaluation view. Specify the following Estimated Job Size (Story Points) indicator. Story points represent the estimated job size in order to understand the duration of the feature. Relative estimates based on Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) are adequate.
• WSJF: In the Program Backlog view, click the   3-dots button > Rate WSJF. A view opens where you can modify the Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) by updating the values for User - Business Value, Time Criticality, Risk Reduction - Opportunity Enable, and Estimated Job Size (Story Points).
