Which technique is particularly useful in narrowing issues and limiting discussion?

  1. Brainstorming

  2. Multivoting

  3. Prioritization matrix

  4. Affinity diagram

The correct answer is: Multivoting

Multivoting is an effective technique designed to narrow down issues and limit discussions by allowing participants to cast votes on a list of options or ideas. This process helps to prioritize a larger number of ideas into a more manageable set that can be focused on for further analysis or action. During multivoting, each participant typically has a limited number of votes that they can distribute among the options. This not only encourages participants to think critically about what they believe are the most important options but also promotes a democratic approach to decision-making. The result is a clearer consensus among the group about which issues are considered the highest priority. Using multivoting can be especially advantageous in situations where there are numerous suggestions or problems to address, as it effectively condenses the options to a select few, making it easier for the team to decide on the most pressing issues to tackle.
