LeSS = Large Scale Scrum.

Another agile scaling framework which was developed by a couple of Nokia Siemens guys - Bas Vodde & Craig Larman.

It has the closest similarly to Scrum amongst the top five scaling frameworks. It provides two patterns - LeSS for products with up to eight agile teams and LeSS Huge for products with many more agile teams.

MoSCoW:The MoSCoW prioritization method allows project managers to communicate with stakeholders on the importance of delivering specific requirements. The acronym indicates four categories of priority and importance for project requirements. Each requirement is prioritized as a “must have,” a “should have,” a “could have,” or a “won’t have.”

It is not a PMBOK term.

ADVERTISEMENTS

"Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition."
