What is MoSCoW Board?
MoSCoW is a simple scoping method that sorts requirements into Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have — making trade-offs explicit before you commit to a release.
How to read your result
- Must have: non-negotiable — the release fails without it.
- Should have: important but not vital; include if you can.
- Could have: nice-to-have; the first to cut under pressure.
- Won't have: explicitly out of scope this time (but recorded).
Frequently asked questions
