Two Features have similar User-Business Value and similar Job Size, but Feature A's market window closes in two weeks (high Time Criticality) and Feature B's window stays open all PI. By WSJF, which Feature should be sequenced first and why?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Feature A — higher Time Criticality raises Cost of Delay and therefore WSJF. With similar value and size, the Feature with higher Time Criticality has higher CoD and therefore a higher WSJF, so it should be sequenced first. Time Criticality is explicitly part of CoD in SAFe.
