What it shows

  • Must-Haves represent absolute non-negotiables required for launch safety.
  • Should-Haves provide high business value but have acceptable workarounds.
  • Won't-Haves set clear stakeholder boundaries to prevent creeping scope.

MoSCoW guarantees on-time delivery by locking non-negotiable scope before work starts.
