FAQPage Schema

How do I prioritize backlog features using WSJF scoring?▼

You prioritize backlog features by computing WSJF scores, dividing each item's value by its effort. This ranks candidates so the highest value relative to effort is selected first.

How do I handle feature dependencies when selecting the next backlog item?▼

Dependency-aware prioritization blocks features until prerequisites are satisfied, ensuring you only select unblocked backlog items to move into in-progress.

When should I enforce WIP limits during agile backlog management?▼

You enforce WIP limits before selecting the next backlog item, requiring zero in-progress features to ensure the team finishes current work before pulling new tasks.

How do I move a selected backlog feature to in-progress?▼

After scoring and selecting the next feature, a guided workflow recommends moving the chosen item to in-progress and updates the backlog after WIP and dependency rule checks pass.

Can I rank backlog items stored in docs/features/backlog directories?▼

Yes, feature selection operates directly on baselined backlog items stored under docs/features/backlog, scoring them to guide moving the chosen feature to in-progress.
