6. Prioritization: MoSCoW

Product Thinking · 36 pages source format

Must / Should / Could / Won’t (this time). Excellent for release scoping and stakeholder alignment.

What you'll learn

  • MoSCoW categories
  • Won’t as a feature
  • Must inflation

Force the Won’t

If there is no Won’t, Must will eat the release.

Do this now

Classify 10 backlog items. Cap Must at 40% of the list.

Pro tip. Must = release fails without it. Be ruthless.
