WSJF Calculator

Weighted Shortest Job First — the SAFe prioritization method. Calculate Cost of Delay divided by Job Duration to prioritize your backlog.

How WSJF Works

(User Value+Time Criticality+Risk Reduction)÷Job Duration=WSJF

User/Business Value: How much value does this deliver? (1-10)

Time Criticality: How urgent is this? Will value decay if delayed? (1-10)

Risk Reduction: Does this reduce risk or enable future opportunities? (1-10)

Job Duration: Relative size of the work (1-10, using Fibonacci or T-shirt sizing)
