Support prioritisation judgement without pretending scores are facts.
Prepare and use
Score a comparable decision set with people who understand value, timing, risk reduction, and job size; record the scale used.
Privacy
Tool inputs stay in this browser unless you explicitly save them on this device or generate an output. Do not enter information you are not authorised to handle.
Working sequence
- Set the purpose, evidence boundary, accountable owner, and review cadence.
- Complete the fields from current evidence and make assumptions explicit.
- Use the result to support a review conversation, not as an automatic decision.
- Record the resulting action, decision, or next review date with the appropriate owner.
Inputs and method
Complete the fields below with evidence suitable for review. The tool structures the work; professional judgement remains necessary.
- User or business value
- Time criticality
- Risk reduction or opportunity enablement
- Job size
- Job-size sensitivity (±%)Optional. Shows how the relative score changes if the job-size estimate is lower or higher; it does not choose the priority.
Fictional learning scenario: Use the labelled fictional example in the online tool as a learning starter; replace it with authorised local evidence.
Review and decision prompt
Which sequencing choice best serves the objective after dependencies, feasibility, and strategic commitments are considered?
Next action:Record the rationale for the priority order and revisit scores when conditions or evidence change.
Common failure mode
WSJF becomes false precision when scores are not comparable or the resulting order overrides dependencies and judgment.
Outputs
