This is a short guide on “35″ which is a way to get all participants agreeing to one vision or objective within 15 minutes or less. It rocks! (and is also good for getting people to prioritize a backlog or choose an option from many)

Download is a tad supeflous… can be a useful technique tho
Each person writes their learning agenda for the course on an index card
Everyone walks around and mixes up the cards
When the facilitator says “stop” people pair up and apportion 7 points between the 2 cards, giving more points to the card that speaks to them the most (there is no 3.5)
Do this for 4 more rounds
Each person sum up the scores on the card they are holding
The card with the highest score “wins”
Illustrates: fast way to get a group to come to one idea while building shared knowledge of all the contributions to that idea and hearing all voices.
When to do it: to create mission/vision statements, sprint goal statements and for prioritizing a product backlog
