Dot voting is usually considered a decision-making tool, not an agile estimation technique. For example Dot Voting is preferred to select the most important 2-3 items during sprint retrospective. It’s a simple and effective way to prioritize or indicate the value of several small items quickly. When there is a relatively small set of items and you don’t want any complex techniques, In this method each team member gets a small number of dots in the form of stickers and uses them as votes to indicate the size and importance of an item. The more votes an item gets, the bigger its size, and the higher its priority.
Sometimes It might be the case where the order is difficult to decide or stakeholders are not happy about the order. In this case, the user stories are divided in 3 groups after the discussions: high priority, low priority, and medium priority. High priority user stories are posted on the wall to receive the votes. This is done until the final order is achieved with the agreement of all stakeholders.
Dot Voting is a good alternative to Planning Poker or Bucket System as it’s a simple and effective way to prioritize or indicate the value of several small items quickly.
