In this presentation, we will look at the next logical step after estimation, i.e., prioritisation of product's features, requirements, tasks and then scoping them in a release. We will focus on some of the methods, techniques and tools such as MoSCoW prioritisation method, Kano's Model, Important vs, Urgent, Goals, tasks and tools model. Business analysis goes beyond writing user stories and Jira! Get it right with the techniques from backlog grooming to MoSCoW prioritisation, from use cases to data models, and from Gherkin statements to tee-shirt sizing estimation. Texavi's Tech Bootcamp will equip you to be job-ready with practical and real-time insights, as well as offering access to our treasure of insightful, high-quality resources and materials.

2. Assess, evaluate, discuss &deep dive into ideas
3. Choose the ideas best suitable for thescenarios
