Dot voting is a great method to democratically choose the best idea by taking in account opinion of every team member.

What can you do?

Everyone has to give their vote. Each individual gets a number of “dots” (usually it is 10 dots per person), that you assign to the ideas you think are the best. You can assign all dots to one idea or however divide them between ideas. Voting should take place in silence and without lobbying. The idea with most votes wins. If you have a tie between the best ideas, you can discuss your answers and/or vote again (but only on the top ideas).
