Explanation
According to the SAFe DevOps Practitioner 6.0 study guide and handbook, Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) is applied to backlogs to identify relative economic value. This means that the WSJF algorithm uses factors such as user and business value, time criticality, risk reduction and/or opportunity enablement, and job size to rank the jobs in the backlog based on their economic benefit. The handbook states that "WSJF is estimated as the relative cost of delay divided by the relative job duration."1 Therefore, WSJF helps teams prioritize their backlog items for continuous delivery.
