After reading Mike Cohn book “Agile estimating and planning” I build a tool called kanosurvey.com\nIts free for everybody to use and you can find links to a kano analysis primer there too.\nKano analysis helps you determine which requirements/features have the highest priority.\nYou have your feature. You have to answer two questions. One about this feature presence and another one about its absence.\nBased on the answers you land in one of 6 categories.\n

Mandatory - Must haves (I can play the songs on iPod)\nLinear - the more the better (Battery life, song capacity)\nExciter - I didnt know about this feature before you showed me, but now I love it and cant live without. The iPod wheel\nIndifferent - They dont care. The iPod can jump two songs forward\nReverse - A reverse might mean that users prefer the absence of the feature. The iPod jumps over all songs from the album if you skip one song from this album.\nQuestionable - They dont understand the question. Answered “yes” or “no” to both alternatives.\n
Choose weight criteria and prioritize them\nI give them numbers 3-2-1 the higher the more value\n

Weight criteria and their respective weight\nYou could have more columns with criteria\nWe have story point estimates to find the cost percent.\nWe see our exciter, linear and baseline features marked with “x”.\nTry do to all baseline. A couple of exciters and you really need kano to prioritize linear.\nEvaluate every story against your weight criteria. Use numbers 0, 1, 2 with 0 being a story with no impact on weight criterion, 1 slightly positive impact, 2 big positive\n
