Common Alternatives
Understand how to optimize Agile portfolio sequencing using Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) and reduce the cost of delay. Learn why common alternatives often lead to suboptimal outcomes and discover how to express cost of delay in non-monetary terms or relative scales. This lesson helps you apply practical strategies to improve delivery cadence and decision-making in Agile environments.
