In an adaptive project, a product manager needs to prioritize backlog items for the next iteration. The team aims to maximize value delivered to the customer while considering the effort required for each item. Which prioritization technique should the project manager use?
Schedule tasks based on team members' availability
Prioritize items by dividing their business value by their estimated effort
Use Earned Value Management to rank tasks
Assign higher priority to tasks with the earliest deadlines
The product manager should prioritize items by dividing their business value by their estimated effort. This is known as the Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) technique. It helps the team focus on tasks that provide the highest value in the shortest time, optimizing resource use and customer satisfaction. Assigning priority based on deadlines is less effective in adaptive projects, where timelines are flexible. Scheduling tasks based on team availability doesn't consider value delivery. Earned Value Management is a performance measurement technique suitable for predictive projects, not for prioritizing tasks in adaptive environments.
