I've asked this before here without much luck, but I still face this question! I have small business client with team of 4-6 folks who wants to sort through all the priorities and projects they've come up with. They are great at ideation, but often fail at execution because they are scattered and disagree on what should be worked on next. General frameworks I'm familiar with, and I've been an agile product owner in the past, so I think of Agile approaches, for example: rating each project idea by Impact vs Effort (action-priority matrix). Sorting into Must Have / Should Have / Could Have / Won't Have, etc. But I still haven't figured out a great structured format for a team to do this together except for unstructured group discussion and a white board. I give it a B— on effectiveness. Miro templates aren't much help. I wind up doing ok, but I just feel like this should be a tight structure. I've asked this another way here: https://www.skool.com/facilitatorclub/action-priority-matrix-how-to-alone-together?p=3bbc03e8 Let me know if you have your own format for this! Or if there are obvious tips I may be missing!
Hello Facilitators👋 I'm really curious about where everyone is from. I'd love to make this a mega post where we can see how diverse the Facilitator Club community is. Who knows, you might find a lot more people in your area than you thought! Once I have lots of answers on this post, I want to make a nice graph!
Advice needed! I need to lead a team (4-6 folks) through a bunch of new projects that have been proposed (19 ideas on the table), some small some large. Thy need to choose their priorities. I proposed facilitating a 3-hour action-priority matrix workshop, to rank each project on impact & effort. In the past I've done this where we sorta group discussion / argue our way through placing the projects on the whiteboard. It sorta works/ sorta doesn't. And takes a lot of time. And defers to authority (this client is a university, and they have a higher authority deference). Has anyone done this with a group, using the together-alone principle where folks somehow place on their own and then somehow vote or validate? It obviously won't work to have every team member placing their own duplicate post-it notes of the project. Advice?
