MoSCoW
MoSCoW is a method used to prioritize tasks or features based on their importance and impact on the project’s success. It helps teams decide what needs to be done first and what can wait. Here’s what each part means:
Must have (M): These are the essential requirements or features that are critical for the project’s success. They are non-negotiable and must be completed in the current phase or iteration.
Should have (S): These are important requirements or features that contribute significantly to the project’s success but are not as critical as ‘Must haves’. They should be included if possible, but their absence won’t derail the project immediately.
Could have (C): These are nice-to-have requirements or features that would enhance the project but are not essential. Their inclusion depends on time, resources, and priorities.
Won’t have (this time) (W): These are requirements or features that are explicitly deemed out of scope for the current phase or iteration. They may be considered for future releases or projects.
