Targetprocess: Prioritize Features

Features are prioritized in Targetprocess using the WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First) method. The Product Manager is responsible for prioritization of features.

Prioritizing Features

1. Navigate to Feature WSJF.
   1. Expand ARTs, then PI Readiness, then select Feature WSJF from the left navigation menu.
2. Filter by the appropriate Portfolio, Agile Release Train, Program Increment, and Team.
   1. Refer to Filtering the Content of a View or Folder for instructions.
3. Ensure all Features have a value type:
   1. Expand No Value.
   2. For each Feature under No Value, Specify the Value Type of a Feature or Story.
4. Expand one value type to see all the Features of that type (Business, Enabler, Improvement, etc.).
5. First, select the User, Business Value for all the Features of that value type:
   1. Higher numbers indicate a greater value to the customer.
   2. Setting all the User, Business Values at once allows you to compare and choose relative values between the features.
6. Next, select the Time Criticality for each feature of that value type:
   1. Higher numbers indicate the most urgent Feature.
7. Next, select the RR, OE Value for each feature of that value type:
   1. This stands for Risk Reduction & Opportunity Enablement.
   2. Higher numbers indicate the Feature(s) that will reduce the most risk or enable the greatest opportunity.
8. Finally, select the Job Size for each feature of that value type:
   1. Higher numbers indicate a larger job.
9. After choosing numbers in all four fields, the WSJF score is automatically calculated for each Feature.
10. Repeat steps 4–8 for each Value Type.
