ABSTRACT
In a Nutshell: Much of the recent academic research has shown that it is not the “hard” technology acquisitions by themselves that guide organiza tional success, but the integration of these assets into organizational change management processes that elevate the importance of the human system. In other words, it is the integration that really makes the difference. In a CCM implementation where time has been fixed, understanding the rela tive importance of things is vital to making progress and keeping to dead lines. Prioritization can be applied to (a) assessing needs/ requirements, (b) design specs, (c) design/develop/testing software, (d) implement sys tems tasks, products, use cases, user stories, (e) support operations accep tance criteria and tests, and (f) evaluating performance. The MoSCoW method is a timehonored technique for helping to establish priorities in terms of selecting those items that can help identify proper sequencing.
