The MoSCoW method

The MoSCoW method

Dai Clegg developed the MoSCoW model to create a strategic approach to prioritization.

  • Must. This category is non-negotiable for creating a viable product or essential to prepare before a client meeting.
  • Should. This includes important requirements that can potentially wait until another session.
  • Could. This is the "nice to have" which are desirable but can be ignored if it does not fit time and resources.
  • Won't. Anything in this category can be discarded. They are either inappropriate for this time or not aligned with your overall goals.

How to use the MoSCoW method

  • Place items in one of the four categories. If you are unsure, always put it one category lower, for example, from must to should.
  • Block time in your calendar. Start with the must category, then add items in the should category. Do not fill your calendar. Stop before it is full to leave room for tasks that may take longer than anticipated.
  • Regularly review the four categories as priorities can change over time.

I have a passion for games and books. Avocado is my fuel. And superfood in general.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
