Explanation
The risk-value quadrant is a prioritization tool that plots stories on a 2x2 matrix: high/low business value on one axis and high/low risk on the other. This helps teams prioritize by tackling high-value, high-risk items early to maximize learning and minimize late-stage surprises. Planning poker (A) is an estimation technique for sizing effort, not for prioritization. A weighted average calculation (B) is not a standard agile prioritization method. INVEST (D) is a checklist for evaluating the quality of a user story (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable) - it grades stories but does not rank them against each other.
