This document discusses prioritizing work in an agile backlog for different business scenarios. It provides examples of scenarios involving launching a new product at an upcoming travel show, completing a fixed-price contract, and dealing with pressure from an acquisition. Teams are asked to discuss their approaches to prioritizing work and what factors they would consider for each scenario, such as user stories to develop and ways to generate early revenue. The document promotes using agile development principles to align work with business needs and maximize value.

The new parent company is breathing down our backs and could shut us down if we don’t deliver an early revenue stream. We need to get this site up and running with an early revenue stream, followed by a steady revenue stream. Do what you can to bring in the cash.

Editor's Notes
- We are a new company called Weekend Escapes, founded on the premise that we have found a niche in the travel booking marketing. We believe that there is a demographic of travels that are not being catered for. Demographic: UK based financial affluent, time poor professionals seeking a weekend getaway to Europe. These people want a weekend getaway that favours convenience over cost. i.e. They are prepared to pay more for a flight that is direct, leaves and arrives at good times. They want their hotel to be easy to get to, ideally directly connected to the airport (or includes personal transfers) and is close to the attractions and restaurants. They are not wealthy so cost is still important but much less so than time. Hence we are going to produce a travel search and booking website that hooks them up with these convenient holidays.
