“After utilizing toolkits from The Art of Service, I was able to identify
threats within my organization to which I was completely unaware. Using
my team’s knowledge as a competitive advantage, we now have superior
systems that save time and energy.”
“As a new Chief Technology Officer, I was feeling unprepared and

inadequate to be successful in my role. I ordered an IT toolkit Sunday
night and was prepared Monday morning to shed light on areas of
improvement within my organization. I no longer felt overwhelmed and
intimidated, I was excited to share what I had learned.”
“I used the questionnaires to interview members of my team. I never

knew how many insights we could produce collectively with our internal
knowledge.”
“I usually work until at least 8pm on weeknights. The Art of Service

questionnaire saved me so much time and worry that Thursday night
I attended my son’s soccer game without sacrificing my professional
obligations.”
“After purchasing The Art of Service toolkit, I was able to identify areas
where my company was not in compliance that could have put my job
at risk. I looked like a hero when I proactively educated my team on the
risks and presented a solid solution.”
“I spent months shopping for an external consultant before realizing that

The Art of Service would allow my team to consult themselves! Not only
did we save time not catching a consultant up to speed, we were able to
keep our company information and industry secrets confidential.”
“Everyday there are new regulations and processes in my industry.

The Art of Service toolkit has kept me ahead by using AI technology to
constantly update the toolkits and address emerging needs.”
1
“I customized The Art of Service toolkit to focus specifically on the
concerns of my role and industry. I didn’t have to waste time with a
generic self-help book that wasn’t tailored to my exact situation.”
“Many of our competitors have asked us about our secret sauce. When
I tell them it’s the knowledge we have in-house, they never believe me.
Little do they know The Art of Service toolkits are working behind the
scenes.”
“One of my friends hired a consultant who used the knowledge gained

working with his company to advise their competitor. Talk about a
competitive disadvantage! The Art of Service allowed us to keep our
knowledge from walking out the door along with a huge portion of our
budget in consulting fees.”
“Honestly, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Before purchasing

The Art of Service, I didn’t realize how many areas of my business needed
to be refreshed and improved. I am so relieved The Art of Service was
there to highlight our blind spots.”
“Before The Art of Service, I waited eagerly for consulting company

reports to come out each month. These reports kept us up to speed but
provided little value because they put our competitors on the same
playing field. With The Art of Service, we have uncovered unique insights
to drive our business forward.”
“Instead of investing extensive resources into an external consultant,

we can spend more of our budget towards pursuing our company goals
and objectives…while also spending a little more on corporate holiday
parties.”
“The risk of our competitors getting ahead has been mitigated because
The Art of Service has provided us with a 360-degree view of threats
within our organization before they even arise.”

About The Art of Service
T
he Art of Service, Business Process Architects since
2000, is dedicated to helping stakeholders achieve
excellence.
Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process

to solve a stakeholders challenge or meet an objective
is the most valuable role… In EVERY group, company,
organization and department.
Unless you’re talking a one-time, single-use project, there

should be a process. Whether that process is managed
and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the
two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex
enough perspective to ask the right questions.
Someone capable of asking the right questions and step

back and say, ‘What are we really trying to accomplish
here? And is there a different way to look at it?’
With The Art of Service’s Assessments, we empower

people who can do just that — whether their title is
marketer, entrepreneur, manager, salesperson, consultant,
Business Process Manager, executive assistant, IT
Manager, CIO etc... —they are the people who rule the
future. They are people who watch the process as it
happens, and ask the right questions to make the process
work better.

Program Management Critical
Capabilities, Meaningful Metrics
And Their Prioritization
Background
This guide provides meaningful Program Management metrics
underpinned by prioritization and is used in management,
business analysis, project/process management, development
and innovation to reach a common understanding with
stakeholders on the importance they place on the delivery of
each requirement.
It is useful for having insight and agreement on the right

prioritization for Program Management initiatives because it
places the most value on items that carry the highest business
value.
It accomplishes the objectives of prioritizing deliverables and

providing assurance as a function of taking away the uncertainty
of the underlying estimates.
This prioritization is based on the MoSCoW prioritization

method, which was developed for use in 1994 in Rapid
Application Development (RAD). It was first used extensively
with the agile project delivery framework Dynamic Systems
Development Method (DSDM) from 2002.
It is often used with timeboxing, where a deadline is fixed so that

the focus must be on the most important requirements, and is
commonly used in agile software development approaches such
as Scrum, rapid application development (RAD), and DSDM.
In any project it is vital to understand the importance of different

things. This is because time is a fixed resource, so prioritization
is applied to requirements, tasks, products, user cases, etc.
6
This guide cuts down on wasted time, arguments, and
misdirection. It also omits as much bias as possible from the
process so that everyone involved can take an objective view of
the requirements at hand.
Prioritization Of Requirements
All requirements are important, however to deliver the greatest
and most immediate business benefits early the requirements
must be priortized. Organizations will initially try to deliver all
the Must have, Should have and Ought to have requirements
but the Should and Ought to requirements will be the first to be
removed if the delivery timescale looks threatened.
The plain English meaning of the prioritization categories has

value in getting stakeholders to better understand the impact
of setting a priority, compared to alternatives like High, Medium
and Low.
Ask the question, ‘What happens if this requirement is not

met?’ If the answer is ‘cancel the project – there is no point in
implementing a solution that does not meet this requirement’
then it is a Must Have requirement.
If there is some way round it, even if it is a manual workaround,

then it will be a lower requirement. Downgrading a requirement
does not mean it will not be delivered, simply that delivery is not
guaranteed.
7
The Prioritization Categories Are:
Must Have
Requirements labelled as Must have are critical to the current
delivery timebox in order for it to be a success. If even one Must
have requirement is not included, the project delivery should
be considered a failure (note: requirements can be downgraded
from Must have, by agreement with all relevant stakeholders; for
example, when new requirements are deemed more important).
MUST can also be considered an acronym for the Minimum
Usable Subset.
This can be defined using some of the following:
• Cannot deliver on target date without this

• No point in delivering on target date without this; if it
were not delivered, there would be no point deploying the
solution on the intended date
• Not legal without it
• Unsafe without it
• Cannot deliver the Business Case without it
Should Have
Requirements labelled as Should have are important but not

necessary for delivery in the current delivery timebox. While
Should have requirements can be as important as Must have,
they are often not as time-critical or there may be another way to
satisfy the requirement so that it can be held back until a future
delivery timebox.
This can be defined using some of the following:
• Important but not vital

• May be painful to leave out, but the solution is still viabl
8
• May need some kind of workaround, e.g. management
of expectations, some inefficiency, an existing solution,
paperwork, etc.
A Should Have may be differentiated from a Ought, Might or

Could by reviewing the degree of pain caused by it not being
met, in terms of business value or numbers of people affected.
Ought to Have
Requirements labelled as Ought to Have are desirable but not

necessary and could improve for example the user experience
or customer satisfaction for a little development cost. These will
typically be included if time and resources permit.
• Wanted or desirable but less important than Should have

• Less impact if left out (compared with a Should Have)
• Won’t Have this time
Might Have
Might Have is a Wish, i.e. still possible but unlikely to be included

(and more likely than Could have).
• Wanted or desirable but less important than Ought to have

• Less impact if left out (compared with a Ought to have)
9
Could Have
Requirements labelled as Could have, have been agreed by

stakeholders as the least-critical, lowest-payback items, or not
appropriate at that time. As a result, Could have requirements
are not planned into the schedule for the next delivery timebox.
Could have requirements are either dropped or reconsidered for
inclusion in a later timebox.
• Wanted or desirable but less important than Might Have

• Less impact if left out (compared with a Might Have)
10
Use In New Product/Service/Process
Development
In new product, service or process development there is always
more to do than there is time or funding to permit (hence the
need for prioritization).
For example, should a team have too many potential tasks, they
can use this guide to select which tasks are Must have, which
Should have, and so on; the minimum viable product (or MVP)
would be all those epics marked as Must have.
Oftentimes, a team will find that, even after identifying their

MVP, they have too much work for their expected capacity. In
such cases, the team could then use the guide to select which
features are Must have, Should have, and so on; the minimum
marketable features (or MMF) would be all those marked as Must
have.
If there is sufficient capacity after selecting the MVP or MMF, the

team could then plan to include Should have and even Might
have and Could have items too.
Aim for a delivery probability of 60, 60, 40, 40 and 20% with
each of the categories. It is recommended to have no more
than 60% effort for Must Haves for a project. Anything higher
than 60% poses a risk to the success and predictability of the
project, unless the environment is well understood, the team is
established and the external risks are minimal.
11
Benefits
The benefits of this guide include:
• It helps decide between multiple requirements with the

same priority. This guide offers a priority ranking rating for
each requirement, this ranks all requirements based on their
priority from highest to lowest.
• You now have rationale around how to rank competing

requirements: why something is must rather than should.
The priority ranking creates this clarity, it provides focus.
• There is no ambiguity over timing, especially on the Could

Have category: whether it is not in this release/project/
process/focus or not ever.
• The potential for political focus on building new features

over technical improvements is off the table with the help
of built-in prioritization of the requirements. The benefit of
this method is that it places several initiatives in the ‘ought-
might-could’ category. This helps manage expectations
about what will not be included in a specific release/project/
process (or other time frame you’re prioritizing for).
• Placing initiatives in the ‘ought-might-could category is one

way to help prevent scope creep. If initiatives are in this
category, the team knows they are not to be a priority for
this specific time frame. Some initiatives in the ‘ought-might-
could’ group will get prioritized in the future, while others
are not likely to happen at all.
