Number of votes configurable

[paulmcqueen]

hi, option to configure number of votes allowed per person other than n/3, please

[paulmcqueen]

and being able to vote without opening the card for speed

Hi, @paulmcqueen. There will indeed be configurable options at some point; haven't started work on that yet, though.

Out of curiosity, what's your use case? As in, in what context you feel like n/3 voting does not work for your boards?

(As to being able to vote without opening a card - I wish I could. I know the Voting power-up does it, but that's not really a power-up, as it's provided by Trello and has special powers. Specifically, I can't see a way to detect when a card is highlighted but not opened).

Hi, It's just how I go about it when in person; i.e.,I'll give everyone, say, 3 votes to spend as they wish; e.g., they can vote all 3 on one item if it's that important to them. Seems to work in the sense it helps get people thinking about things and conversations started. Thanks

I'll second what @paulmcqueen is saying. Multi-voting is how I learned Lean Coffee™ in my local Agile practitioners' group and, tangentially similar, how "dot voting" works on stickies/cards in Design Sprints (which I could see this cool add-on being leveraged for in the Remote Workpocalypse).

Question to you both, @paulmcqueen and @sconesoft-brendan: do you think people should:

1. be able to vote more than once for the same card
2. be able to get as many votes as configured, regardless of the number of items in a list

From personal experience, I'd be inclined to try and implement 1) (as it's also something I've done in real life), while I'm not so sure about 2) - the reason being, limiting the number of votes based on the list size is meant to help people focusing on the items that they really care about.

Scenario: imagine there are three lists, with 21, 6 and 3 items, and people have, say, 5 votes to spend for each list - they would be too many for the smaller lists, and not enough for the big one. Letting the power-up adjust the number of available votes dynamically, based on the list size, seems still the best option here.

1. Absolutely
2. Only 80% confident I understand your question.

On the scenario, I want to clarify the time dimension. I've never seen one group vote on multiple lists at once; that process is sequential. But I'm reading implicitly that configuring the number of votes happens once for all with no time to reconfigure between lists.

Conversely, assuming that users can configure the number of topic votes (ideally as an override to an automatically calculated default) for each Lean Coffee session, I think it would work. It's not yet clear, though, who would have the ability to set that override (or that restricting the ability to is valuable for users).

However, I think this issue needs to have "Multiple votes per topic/card" split off as a separate feature from configuring the total number of votes per person.
