Prioritizing a change request

Business scenario

A business user submits a change request to create a new action intended to promote the use of credit cards for utility bill payments. A promotional message is displayed to all customers who log in to the self-service portal on the U+ Bank website. The business user has provided details for the action attributes by completing the Define attributes task.

The next task, Rank change request is ready to be worked on by the team lead. As a team lead, your responsibility is to prioritize the available change requests and to complete this task so that the next-best-action specialists can plan their day and work on the most important tasks first.
