Web development and web design can be as simple as you’d like it to be.

On the same coin, it can be as hard as you’d like it not to be as well, especially since you have to deal with humans, and if there’s anything guaranteed about humanity is that every human being has an opinion on web design.

It is what it is, right?

Well, here’s a simple process that you can share with your team (and management perhaps) to help you move forward in your new web efforts: The MoSCoW Method.

It is most simply a prioritization technique for delivery requirements during design and development:

• M – MUST have this.
• S – SHOULD have this if at all possible.
• C – COULD have this if it does not affect anything else.
• W – WON’T have this time but WOULD like in the future.

Sometimes it just takes a good acronym to get things moving.
