Dot Vote

Change the activity to dot voting. Set the timer for 2-3 minutes for the voting - reserving 2-3 minutes for brief review.

  • Allocate votes to about 20-30% of total options (e.g., 12 steps = 3 votes per participant to focus priorities
  • For very large groups of 15-20 you may consider reducing the votes to 2 to avoid too many options

Frame The Voting

"With limited resources and time where would you vote?"

  • To get more information?
  • What bottlenecks would you address first?
  • Pause the collaboration to close the voting round and review the results

Example

In this example steps with longer wait time or expected flow time received the most votes. Yellow votes for more investigation and red ones for improvements.
