MoSCoW-Priorisierung

The MoSCoW prioritization is a method for categorizing requirements into four priority levels: Must-have (absolutely necessary), Should-have (important), Could-have (useful), and Won't-have (not in this version). It helps with decision-making when resources are limited and ensures that the most important requirements are prioritized. This method is particularly valuable when not all requirements can be implemented due to time or budget constraints.
