Project Management + WSJF Agile

Prioritize smarter. Build faster. Manage projects with clarity using WSJF + Agile in Notion.

WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First) is a simple but powerful way to decide what to work on next. It’s used in Agile to help teams focus on what delivers the most value in the shortest time — and now you can apply it directly inside Notion.

Here’s how it works:

• Total Value = Business value + Time sensitivity + Risk reduction or opportunity
  • Business Value → How valuable is it? (Does it drive revenue, improve the user experience, or support the business?)
  • Time Sensitivity → How urgent is it? (Does delaying it make things worse or reduce its impact?)
  • Risk Reduction / Opportunity Enablement → Does it prevent future problems or open the door to something important?
• Job Size = How much effort it takes
• WSJF Score = Total Value ÷ Job Size

The higher the score, the higher the priority. That’s it.
The goal? Focus on what creates the biggest impact, not just what feels urgent.

This template gives you a full system to apply WSJF in a clean, powerful Project Management workspace

Manage projects and tasks, run focused sprints, and make prioritization part of your workflow, not a separate process.

Inside the template you will find

• Projects with hierarchy
  Projects can have sub-projects and dependencies. Each one shows progress based on completed sprint tasks.
• Tasks with WSJF scoring
  Each task includes the full WSJF scoring logic. The template auto-sorts tasks by WSJF score across views, so your priorities are always clear.
• Sprint Planning Hub
  A central space to prepare your next sprint. See all tasks across projects, set WSJF scores, and select the ones you’ll tackle next.
  Easily move tasks in or out of a sprint with one click.
• Subtasks & Progress Bars
  Break work down with subtasks, and see progress update automatically in both projects and sprints.
• Table-first layout
  Prioritization works best with space to think, so the views are clean, compact, and information-rich.

Why you’ll love it

• Apply WSJF without switching tools or using external spreadsheets.
• Prioritize tasks based on real value, not gut feeling.
• Plan sprints with intention and total visibility.
• Keep tasks and projects connected with built-in progress tracking.
• Fully built in Notion. Fast to use, easy to adapt.

Make better decisions, faster — and focus on what really moves your projects forward.
