This document outlines the prioritization of requirements for the fitness tracking application using the MoSCoW method. This helps the development team focus on delivering the most critical features first while providing clarity on what can be deferred to later iterations.
Requirements are classified into four priority levels:
Must Have (M) {.must-have}: Critical requirements that must be delivered for the product to be considered viable. The product will not be released without these features.
Should Have (S) {.should-have}: Important requirements that provide significant value but are not critical for initial release. These should be included if possible but could be deferred if necessary.
Could Have (C) {.could-have}: Desirable requirements that would enhance the product but are not as important as Should Haves. These are typically included only if time and resources permit.
Won’t Have (W) {.wont-have}: Requirements that have been explicitly excluded from the current scope but might be considered for future releases.
Add the following CSS to your Quarto project to visually highlight the priority levels:
.must-have::after {
content: " [Must Have]";
color: #e63946;
font-weight: bold;
}
.should-have::after {
content: " [Should Have]";
color: #1d3557;
font-weight: bold;
}
.could-have::after {
content: " [Could Have]";
color: #2a9d8f;
font-weight: bold;
}
.wont-have::after {
content: " [Won't Have]";
color: #6c757d;
font-weight: bold;
