Let Dependencies Gate; Let Value Order

First remove blocked work. Among the work that remains possible, choose by value, learning, risk, and effort.

The question

Why should this be next rather than merely important?

Do this

  • Never score a feature as if its dependencies do not exist.
  • Use weights to expose judgment, not to manufacture an objective answer.
  • Explain the selected item in words after calculating any score.

Example

  • Products come before baskets because baskets reference products. Once both checkout and search are unblocked, checkout wins because it completes the core outcome.

Ask next

  • ?Is this work unblocked?
  • ?Which criterion makes it win now?
  • ?Would another reasonable weighting change the order?
