Startups are forced to make tough decisions every day – limited time, limited resources, and too many ideas.
Researchers face similar challenges when deciding which experiments to run, which collaborations to pursue, or where to invest their limited time.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use the MoSCoW method, a simple yet powerful framework for structured prioritization.
Working in teams on a fictional startup case, you’ll experience how hard – and how valuable – it is to define what truly matters.
Whether you're planning your next research step or juggling competing tasks, this mindset will help you focus and move forward with clarity.
Along the way, you’ll also gain practical insights into how startups structure their work, make decisions, and run their business.

This workshop for PhD students/PostDocs is part of the Bonn Doctorate plus program and units can be acquired.
