MoSCoW is a prioritization technique used in software development for business analysis and project management. It is an efficient method to reach a common understanding of business requirements and development processes to deliver each requirement efficiently. Here, we’ll share some of our first-hand experience at MoSCoW analysis at Techtic

It refers to the minimal requirements that are essential to building a mobile application. After the initial project discussion and requirement analysis, our business analysis experts prioritize the initial requirement, time, and resource allocation for the further development process. We put these on the topmost priority and set the sprints to complete it in the first place.

These are the much-desired requirements. These are additional requirements with high priority. Once the detailed project discussion is over and the deliverables are chalked out, we set it on priority accordingly. There is, however, little concern about the usability of mobile apps with these features, as it will only add value to your app. Moreover, you can always return to these features at a later stage.

Our mobile app development team majorly focuses on the ‘Must haves’ and ‘Should haves’ during the app conceptualization, the rest are kept at minimum priorities.

These comprise of those app features which can be considered if there is enough availability of time and resources before the planned launch. These are of lower priority and will not have any major impact on the final product.

These are about wishes for the future, mostly followed upon at a later stage after the initial project completion, and are often impossible to realize most of the time. At Techtic, our project manager gives them a consideration, once the app is ready with the basic ‘must-have’ and ‘should-have’ requirements.

After performing the MoSCoW Analysis and finalizing the priorities, our team will help you identify the required technology stack and a team of developers, who will execute the project to build your mobile app.

MVP development is a proven and cost-effective way to minimize cost as well as the risk involved.
