Problem This Solves

Cast votes during guided facilitation phases to prioritize the most critical feedback cards for discussion.

When to Use This

Facilitation mode must be enabled under Board Settings > Features, with cards revealed.

Prerequisites

  • Facilitation mode must be enabled under Board Settings > Features, with cards revealed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Confirm Facilitation Mode: Ensure that the board facilitator has toggled ON Facilitation mode under Board Settings > Features.
  2. Advance to Voting Phase: When reflection and card grouping are complete, the facilitator initiates the voting stage of the guided session.
  3. Review Cards: Read the revealed feedback items across the columns (START, STOP, CONTINUE, etc.).
  4. Cast Votes: Click the vote button on the cards you believe deserve the team's immediate focus or follow-up action.
  5. Evaluate Priority Ranking: When the voting phase concludes, inspect which cards gathered the highest team consensus to structure the discussion.

Expected Outcome

The ceremony transitions objectively from divergent brainwriting into focused, prioritized problem-solving based on collective team vote weight.

Troubleshooting & Realistic Tips

  • Voting is available as part of Facilitation Mode. If you do not see vote controls, ensure the facilitator has activated Facilitation mode and transitioned the session to the voting stage.
