What is one key component of Cost of Delay (CoD)?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Time criticality is one key component of Cost of Delay (CoD), which is the money or value that will be lost by delaying or not doing a job for a specific time period relative to other jobs. Time criticality reflects the urgency or sensitivity of a job to time, and how its value changes over time. For example, a job that has a fixed deadline, a seasonal demand, or a high risk of obsolescence has a high time criticality, and its CoD increases rapidly as time passes. A job that has a stable demand, a low risk of competition, or a long-term benefit has a low time criticality, and its CoD increases slowly or remains constant over time.


WSJF: This article from the Scaled Agile Framework explains the concept and purpose of Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF), which is a prioritization model that uses CoD and job duration to sequence jobs for maximum economic benefit. It also describes the four components of CoD: user or business value, time criticality, risk reduction and/or opportunity enablement, and job size.

Cost of Delay - Scaled Agile Framework: This article from the Scaled Agile Framework defines CoD as the numerator in WSJF prioritization, and provides some examples of how to estimate CoD for different types of jobs.

Actually, I think duration is the main factor in calculating Cost of Delay.

Cost of Delay? More like 'Cost of Confusion,' am I right? *chuckles* Anyway, I'm going to go with duration. It just seems like the most straightforward answer, and hey, if I'm wrong, at least I'll have an amusing story to tell my friends later.

Cost of Delay? Sounds like something from a corporate finance textbook. I'm going to go with job size on this one. The bigger the job, the more it's going to cost to delay it, right?

This is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure what Cost of Delay is, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the cost of waiting or delaying a project. Hmm, time criticality seems like the most obvious answer, but I could be wrong.
