After gathering valuable user insights, prioritizing the features based on user needs and business goals was crucial. It helped ensure the development team could focus on the most impactful functionalities first.

Balancing User Needs with Development Effort: I needed to prioritize features that addressed user needs while staying within the constraints of the development team's capacity (150 person-hours per sprint).

Choosing the Right Prioritization Framework: The MoSCoW approach provided a clear structure for categorizing features based on their necessity ("Must Have", "Should Have", "Could Have") for the upcoming sprints and future development phases.

I successfully translated user research findings into actionable user stories with acceptance criteria.

The MoSCoW prioritization framework helped me categorize features logically and ensure the team focused on functionalities with the highest user impact within the time constraints.

By estimating the development effort for each user story, I could ensure the prioritized features ("Must Have" and "Should Have") would not exceed the available resources.

This user story prioritization exercise was a critical step in transforming user research findings into actionable development tasks. By focusing on the "Must Have" and "Should Have" features that addressed core user needs and incentivized content creation, this strategy could ensure the MakeYourMaps app delivered a valuable and engaging user experience while staying within the limitations of the current development timeframe.
