What Comes First
When everything feels important, force a choice.
Not a vote. Not a score. A forcing function to surface where priorities actually align—and where they conflict.
How it works
Add your priorities
The host adds 2-10 items that need prioritizing. Once the link is shared, items lock.
Everyone ranks
Drag items from what should come first to what can wait. No ties allowed.
See the tension
Results show average ranking and disagreement. Talk about the conflicts before moving on.
What this is for
This tool forces teams to rank priorities when everything feels equally urgent.
It's not a vote. It's not a scoring exercise. It's a structured way to surface where people agree on priorities—and where they fundamentally disagree.
Use it when you need to force hard trade-offs, not just collect opinions. The discomfort is the point—it makes priority conflicts visible before they cause problems.
When to use it
Roadmap planning
"We have 5 features. Which should we build first?"
Problem prioritization
"All these issues matter. Which one should we tackle this quarter?"
Resource allocation
"We can't do everything. What comes first?"
When consensus is unclear
"Everyone says these are all critical. Let's force a ranking."
