Everything is on fire, every stakeholder is clamoring for their thing to be prioritized first, and every leader wants to know why theirs isn't. There are lots of ways to prioritize a backlog but the weighted shortest job first (WSJF) method offers ways to find the "low hanging fruit" that delivers the most value to the stakeholdes in the shortest amount of time.

Together we'll discuss the components of the technique and how to walk your stakeholders through the prioritization process. We will analyze both the strengths and limitations of this technique. Finally, we'll explore what to do when even that doesn't give you a definitive answer.
