Run the Nominal Group Technique online.
NGT ends with everyone ranking the ideas and the votes being tallied. TeamSort runs that stage for you: participants drag-to-rank on their own devices, and the group's aggregated priority list appears live — in the room or async.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Nominal Group Technique?
The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a structured group decision-making method: participants generate ideas silently, share them round-robin, clarify them together, then rank them independently. The private ranking step is what makes NGT work — it surfaces the group's real priorities instead of the loudest voice's. TeamSort runs that ranking and aggregation stage for you.
Can I run NGT with a remote or async group?
Yes. Share the poll link and each participant ranks on their own device, in the room or on their own schedule. Results aggregate live as rankings come in, so a distributed team can run the voting stage of NGT without a meeting.
Is this the same as multivoting?
They're close cousins. Multivoting narrows a long list by giving everyone a handful of votes; NGT's voting stage has everyone rank the options and sums the positions — which is the Borda count. TeamSort computes Borda scores automatically from each person's full drag-and-drop ranking, so you get multivoting's outcome with more signal per participant.
Can I use this for a values ranking activity or a classroom prioritization activity?
Yes — this format works well as a values ranking activity for workshops, a prioritization activity for students or leadership teams, or a staff meeting exercise. Add the statements to rank, share the link, and the group's collective priority order appears instantly.
Do participants need an account?
No. Voters just open the link and drag to rank — no sign-up, no app. Only the poll creator needs anything, and even creating a poll works without an account.
