Explanation

In Agile, user stories are prioritized using a value/risk matrix. The correct sequence from highest to lowest priority is: (1) High-value, high-risk — tackle these first to reduce uncertainty early and deliver significant value; (2) High-value, low-risk — high business value with predictable outcomes; (3) Lower-value, low-risk — modest value, straightforward work done later; (4) Low-value, high-risk — these yield the least return for the most effort and are typically deferred or dropped. Addressing risk early prevents late-stage surprises that could derail a project.
