+You give two dots for each person to pick two ideas on the board. Ideally, you'll get one idea that most people in the room choose. Then, you move forward with that idea.
+
+Sometimes, you'll have a tie. Two ideas have an equal vote. If that's the case, you'll have an open discussion and let the decision-maker in the room make a super vote to break the tie.
