Decision Making Tools¶

Making decisions in an inclusive and transparent way can be an organization’s greatest challenge. Future Crabgrass development will focus on this problem. Currently we have one tool to aid decision-making.

Straw Poll: A series of options, where each option can be rated individually. The results are color coded. There is no winner, but you can visually see which options have garnered the most positive and least negative responses. Features include:

• creation of multiple choices and each person can rate each choice.
• page becomes pending if a new choice is added.
• page becomes resolved if you have made a selection for each choice.

The Ballot: A ranked voting tool. It lets you create a series of possibilities and then people rank them in order or preference. It then finds the winnner(s) using Condorcet method with Cloneproof Schwartz Sequential Dropping—it is like instant running voting that doesn’t suck.

Discussion¶

This is a simple, highly editable discussion board.

Event¶
