MoSCoW analysis
MoSCoW analysis is the correct tool for prioritizing requirements based on stakeholder value and implementation complexity. It categorizes requirements into Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have. Option A (SWOT analysis) is used for strategic analysis, not prioritization. Option C (Process flow diagram) illustrates the sequence of activities, not priority. Option D (Requirements traceability matrix) tracks requirement relationships and coverage, not prioritization.
