The "WSJF" field type allows you to manage the Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) value for your tasks in Jira. With this custom field, you can evaluate the priority of your tasks based on a combination of value, time, and risk.
The WSJF field type provides you with a dynamic method to prioritize your tasks according to their estimated value and available resources. Use this feature to give your team members a clear view of the most important tasks and make more effective decisions about resource allocation.
