If you want everyone to get on the same page about priorities, then this game is for you!
HOW TO PLAY1) Copy this spreadsheet (File > Make a Copy) so you can edit/run it
2) Each player gets a sheet (add new sheets as necessary) with the same list of projects
3) Each player separately ranks their list by assigning each project a priority 1 to N (1 = highest)
4) Click the `Align Us` button to the right
The `Results` sheet will then populate with the following breakdown:
● Consensus ranking of priorities: the stack ranking most aligned to all players
● Who's aligned with whom: measure of how aligned any two players are
● Who's most aligned with the consensus
● Contentiousness of each priority
Now that all misalignment is out in the open, a good next step is to discuss the results and
converge to alignment naturally! Play as many times as necessary :)
HOW IT WORKSUnderneath the hood we are using the Kemeny-Young Method to define consensus based
on ranked preferences. This method minimizes the sum of the "bubble sort" distance between
paired preference rankings. Code is here.
