What is WSJF?
WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First) is the SAFe prioritization model. It divides the cost of delay — business value plus time-criticality plus risk reduction — by job size, so you sequence the highest-value, smallest jobs first.
WSJF = (value + time-criticality + risk) ÷ job size
How to read your result
- Cost of delay = business value + time-criticality + risk reduction/opportunity enablement.
- Score each factor on a relative scale (1–10 or Fibonacci).
- Dividing by job size favors quick, high-value wins.
- Highest WSJF is highest priority.
