While building a high-level product roadmap for a new cloud-based application, the business analyst must decide which functional components should be delivered in Release 1, Release 2, and Release 3. Which guideline provides the most appropriate basis for assigning components to individual releases?
Place components into releases exactly as requested by stakeholders, even if priorities conflict
Choose components primarily by matching each release to the development capacity available during that timeframe
Prioritize components by their business value and sequence them according to any technical dependencies
Allocate components randomly so that each release is of similar size
The most widely recommended approach is to rank backlog items or components by the measurable business value they deliver and then order them with regard to any technical, architectural, or schedule dependencies. Doing so maximizes value early while preventing blocked work. Simply following stakeholder requests or choosing work purely because it fits a resource window ignores value-based prioritization and may delay critical features. Random allocation obviously lacks any strategic rationale.
