The HiPPO in the room shouldn't decide your roadmap. Structured voting — dot, ranked, or majority — gives your product decisions a process that produces genuine consensus.
Start free →Give your team 10 points each and let them allocate across the full backlog. Unlike picking one item, dot voting captures the relative weight of preferences across many competing options. The result shows not just what's most important but by how much — revealing strong consensus items as well as genuinely contested ones.
When stakeholders disagree on which strategic direction to take — and everyone has strong opinions — ranked choice avoids a minority option winning just because similar alternatives split the vote. It surfaces the option with the broadest consensus, even if no single choice got a majority of first-place votes.
When the CTO, CPO, Head of Design, and commercial lead all need to align on a product decision, Chooseday gives each an equal vote and records the result with full context. No more "who agreed to what" ambiguity in the next planning meeting. The decision history is the source of truth.
Highest Paid Person's Opinion is a real bias. When votes are anonymous, engineers vote on their genuine technical view rather than matching what they think leadership wants to hear. The PM gets more accurate signal — which leads to better prioritisation decisions and fewer expensive missteps.
Run a quarterly dot vote across the top-10 backlog items. Every engineer, designer, and commercial stakeholder allocates their points. The result gives you a data-backed prioritisation that's harder to second-guess in the next planning meeting.
When it's time to decide between three possible strategic directions for H2, use ranked choice. Each stakeholder ranks the options. The winner emerges through redistribution — not through whoever made the most compelling PowerPoint.
After a round of user interviews, run an async vote with the team on what the most important insight was. Structured agreement on the "so what" before you design solutions saves weeks of work heading in the wrong direction.
I used to present a roadmap and spend 20 minutes defending every item. Now I run a Chooseday vote before the meeting. Everyone's already voted and the results are on screen before I open my mouth. Alignment happens in the vote, not in the room.
In dot voting, each team member receives a set number of points to allocate across options — they can put all points on one option or spread them. For product backlog prioritisation, this lets each person signal both their top choice and relative preferences across the full list. The result shows where collective energy actually lies.
Yes. Share a Chooseday link with stakeholders — engineers, designers, leadership, and commercial teams. Each votes privately. The aggregate result gives you a documented view of cross-functional priorities. This is far more defensible than "the PM decided" or a verbal meeting outcome.
For binary choices (build vs defer), standard majority works fine. For choosing between 4+ features, ranked choice surfaces the broadest consensus. For backlog prioritisation exercises where you want to understand relative weight across many items, dot voting is the most useful method.
Chooseday gives every stakeholder an equal, documented vote. The result shows not just what won, but how close the vote was — helping you understand whether a decision has genuine consensus or just a plurality. Every decision is archived, so "why did we decide this?" is always answerable.
