Here's a run-of-show you can open the meeting with. (Input: "30-min team meeting to decide next sprint's feature priority," 3 attendees.)
Goal: Leave with a ranked top-3 for next sprint. Required output: an ordered list with an owner per item. (Inferred from "priority" — confirm if you actually need effort estimates too.)
| # | Item | Min | Purpose | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open + goal | 2 | share | Host |
| 2 | Candidate features on the table | 8 | share | PM |
| 3 | Score by impact vs. effort | 12 | discuss | All |
| 4 | Lock the top 3 | 6 | decide | Host |
| 5 | Owners + wrap | 2 | decide | Host |
Per-item facilitation
- Item 3 — key question: "If we could only ship one this sprint, which moves the needle most?" Pull-back line: "Let's park the how and rank the what first."
- Item 4 — key question: "Any objection to locking these three?" (silence = agreement, but call each name once).
Opening (2 min): "We have 30 minutes and one job: a ranked top-3 by the end. I'll timebox hard — if we're stuck at 12 minutes, we vote."
Wrap (3 min): "Top 3 are X, Y, Z. X is on Mina by Thursday, Y on Jun, Z parked till next cycle. I'll send this in five minutes."
Send within 5 min:
Decisions: top-3 = X, Y, Z Actions: X — Mina — Thu · Y — Jun — next standup Parked: Z (revisit next sprint)
One honest note: a 30-minute ranking meeting only works if candidates are shared before the meeting. If not, item 2 will eat your clock — send the list an hour ahead.
