Nominal Group Technique

A facilitation method that extends brainstorming by adding a structured voting step to score and rank ideas, helping the group identify the most valuable items for deeper discussion or prioritization.

Key Points

  • Typical flow: silent idea generation, round-robin sharing, clarification without debate, then independent voting to rank ideas.
  • Reduces dominance and groupthink by giving each participant an equal voice; voting can be anonymous.
  • Produces a prioritized list to guide next steps, such as deeper analysis or selection.
  • Useful for requirements, risk response selection, decision making, and backlog prioritization in time-boxed workshops.

Example

During a requirements workshop, the team brainstorms features for a new customer portal. After listing and clarifying all ideas, each participant privately assigns scores to the features. The facilitator tallies the scores to create a ranked list, and the top items are scheduled for detailed elaboration.
