User Stories that don’t fit that vision are candidates for a Won’t rating. The Won’t category is less useful for smaller projects where the product owner knows what is needed. Pat Hello

This leaves the “Must” and a priority ordered list of “Optional” deliverables, which are often trimmed from the bottom upwards. When asking stakeholders to help reduce the scope, I have asked them to assign priorities 1-4 to the optional list to help us determine where in the list to make the cut.
