A business analyst (BA) is working on a project that follows incremental and iterative approaches. The BA and the stakeholders have shortlisted several user stories to be considered in the project scope. Which of the following methods would enable them to arrive at a common understanding on delivering value in the product and ranking the stories?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
MoSCoW prioritization is a technique that helps to classify requirements or user stories based on their relative importance and urgency. The acronym stands for Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have. This technique enables the business analyst (BA) and the stakeholders to agree on the minimum viable product (MVP) and the order of delivery for the project scope. MoSCoW prioritization also supports incremental and iterative approaches, as it allows for frequent feedback and validation of the product value.
