MoSCoW Method

Word:  MoSCoW Method

Definition: The acronym is a method that helps understand and prioritize features of a product in order to define project needs and scope.

Thoughts: The letters in the acronym stand for: Must have (minimum viable product), Should have, Could have, and Won't have (at least for now, but can be added in the future).

The MoSCoW method is a great tool for brainstorming while also understanding the depth and limitations of your product. "Moscow-ing" with post-its on a white board is my preferred practice of the method and I highly recommend it!

Questions: What are other great, and visual ways, of feature prioritization?
