I’ve never found a use for Kanban boards before now. With holidays upon me I must map what I want to achieve including 2025 and beyond. Early last week I was reminded of MoSCoW, a little mnemonic to help order around Must, Should, Could and Won’t. A colleague and I used it successfully to order the security initiatives in a report we’d written, and I made the cognitive jump to my own situation.
I’m gathering ideas into two lists, each organised using MoSCoW. The Obsidian Kanban Plugin is useful to organise and rearrange items. In front of the MoSCoW columns is one called Ideas for quick GTD-like inbox capture before processing.
Despite the weight of planning, I am less stressed with this approach than past experience suggests I would have been otherwise.
