A company is transitioning projects from a predictive to an agile approach.

In an agile approach, features and tasks are prioritized based on business value, which is a core principle of agile methodologies1. The project manager should explain to the CFO that the agile prioritization process aims to deliver the highest business value in the shortest time. This means that features are implemented not based on their order of submission but based on the value they add to the business and the customers2. It’s important to communicate that while the feature for the financial department is essential, it will be delivered at the right time in the project lifecycle to maximize value and ensure proper implementation.
