Priority Pyramid
RankingRemote or in person
Only three things fit at the top. Choose, and defend it.
Ten things every team says matter, and room for three. There is no expert answer — the value is in a team being forced to say out loud which four of the ten they are deprioritising, which is a conversation most teams have never actually had.
Run this when…
The situations it was built for. If none of these is the room you have, it is probably the wrong activity.
- Planning season
- A team with more priorities than it can carry
- A leadership alignment session
How it runs
Order a list alone, then as a team. The gap between the two is the debrief.
- 1You start a session and put the code on the big screen.
- 2Everyone joins on their phone — no app, no sign-up, just the code.
- 3You drive the pace from the host screen; the room answers as they go.
- 4Ending the session builds the report, with every answer in it.
Running it well
Only the host sees these. Participants never do.
- Do not let a team say 'they are all important'. That is the exact avoidance the activity is designed to catch.
- Ask each team to name what they are giving up, not what they chose. Different question, much better answers.
