Topic Voting for More Productive Meetings

Jun 21, 2024 | News

Meetings can be challenging when it comes to managing and prioritizing topics. Traditionally, topic owners rank the topics they add to team meetings. However, our new feature allows everyone on the team to vote on these topics, ensuring a more democratic and efficient process. This means that everyone’s voice is heard, and the team can collectively decide which topics are most important to tackle today.

Why You’ll Love This Feature

Topics in meetings can accumulate rapidly, and teams often spend precious time sorting through, prioritizing, and re-ranking them — all before they even begin discussing and solving them. Our new platform feature allows meeting attendees to quickly up-vote or down-vote topics, enabling the team to focus on the key challenges that must be addressed today. This is a valuable alternative or addition to the traditional drag-and-drop ranking system.

Key Benefits

  • Save Time: Reduce the time wasted in meetings deciding which topics to discuss first. By polling your entire team, you can make the most of your meetings.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Collaborative agenda-setting allows the whole team to weigh in on what the most important topics are. This ensures that your team meetings are effective for everyone in the room.
  • Increased Efficiency: More effective meetings start with the right agenda. Address the most critical challenges for your team first, rather than spending time on topics that only one person might consider most pressing.

How It Works

During your meeting, when you reach the Topics section, take 30 seconds to a minute for each team member to up-vote or down-vote topics on the list. Each team member gets one vote (up or down) per topic, ensuring a fair and balanced process without spamming the buttons.

Incorporating this feature into your meetings can lead to more productive and engaging discussions, ultimately driving better outcomes for your team.
