MoSCoW stands for:

M – Must Have

Non-negotiable requirements

Without these, the project/product is not viable

Example: A banking app must have secure login

S – Should Have

Important but not critical

Adds significant value, but workarounds exist if not delivered immediately

Example: App should have biometric login, but password login is acceptable initially

C – Could Have

Nice to include if time/resources allow

Enhances user experience, but not essential

Example: App could have custom themes or dark mode

W – Won’t Have (this time)

Explicitly agreed as out of scope for now

Helps manage expectations and avoid scope creep

Example: App won’t have AI-based financial advice in the first release
