During release planning for a new customer-facing web portal, the sponsor urges the team to start with the "quick-win" features because they can be coded fastest. To follow good practice for maximizing stakeholder value, what factor should drive the order in which requirements are implemented?
Implementation order proposed by the technical lead to minimize refactoring
Estimated development effort and technical complexity alone
Sequence in which stakeholders originally submitted their requests
Expected business value and impact on project objectives
Best practice is to sequence work according to the benefit it provides to the business and stakeholders. Techniques such as MoSCoW, WSJF, and value scoring explicitly weigh user/business value, time criticality, and risk before effort. Prioritizing only on ease or developer preference can cause low-impact items to crowd out the functionality that delivers the greatest value, reducing overall project success. Options focusing on technical simplicity, request order, or developer convenience ignore whether the requirement meaningfully advances project objectives.
