Bottega IL: Team decisions making methods
summary
Practical rules for getting decisions made: present a clear proposal, frame it as an experiment with hypothesis and acceptance criteria (timebox, metrics, e.g. SonarQube evaluation), and use lightweight decision tools like fist of five and consent voting (block only with qualified objections). When stuck, split the problem, delegate to a smaller group, or run a safe pilot. Facilitation tactics include individual thinking before sharing, planning poker, dot-vote prioritization, parking questions, strict timeboxing and a five-minute checkout to assign actions.
