How to apply
- Define the specific management situation and desired outcome.
- Gather the minimum facts, constraints, and perspectives needed to use the tool.
- Apply Dot Voting, make key assumptions explicit, and compare the result with realistic alternatives.
- Record the decision, next owner or action, and a testable criterion for the next step.
