Prioritization Techniques
Teams always have more ideas than time and resources allow. Prioritization Techniques such as MoSCoW, WSJF, RICE, or Kano, help structure facts and opinions, enabling you to objectively determine what should come first. This is essential for a well-managed backlog that delivers true value in the right sequence.
Key Topics
- MoSCoW: Must, Should, Could, Won’t
- WSJF: Weighted Shortest Job First (CoD/Job Size)
- Kano Model: Must-be, Satisfiers, Delighters
- RICE: Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort
What are the benefits?
- Shared logic: All stakeholders follow the same criteria, leading to fewer disagreements about 'this is *also* important.'
- Transparency: It's clear how decisions are reached, rather than 'the PO's word is law.'
- Quick execution: You can immediately shift items when time is tight, because you know what is a Must and what is a Could.
