Prioritizing risky requirements first is often favored by management because it allows for failure to be identified early in the project lifecycle, particularly before substantial investments are made. By tackling the more uncertain aspects of a project at the outset, the organization has the opportunity to experiment with and assess these high-risk elements. If issues arise, they can be addressed and learned from without the burden of having already committed significant resources. This approach not only minimizes potential losses but also provides critical insights that can inform further development, reducing the likelihood of encountering major challenges later on when the project has advanced and resource commitments are deeper. Recognizing and addressing risks early enhances overall project resilience and helps in refining requirements based on actual performance rather than assumptions.
