How do project ideas become prioritized?StrAlign works on an algorithm based on asynchronous individual inputs vs. consensus driven, meetings and loudest personalities driving direction. This quantitative method behind individual decisions drives more accurate prioritization over consensus-driven decision making. As ratings are collected, and the overall score becomes higher within a period of time, an idea turns into an opportunity. Opportunities are then expanded with additional details about the problem, proposed solution, assumptions and risks, budget estimates, etc, and continue the rating process until achieving a rating high enough to become a project.
