About MoSCoW Prioritisation

MoSCoW categorises requirements into Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, and Won't Have — enabling explicit scope agreements in fixed-time, fixed-cost projects.

Must Haves define the minimum viable delivery — never more than 60% of capacity
Won't Haves are as important to document explicitly as Must Haves
Should and Could Haves provide scope flexibility within the timebox
MoSCoW requires stakeholder sign-off, not just PM classification
