Automatically.

Client priorities.
Team validated.
Clients say everything is urgent. Your team knows what's actually achievable. Voting bridges the gap—stakeholder input meets technical reality. Ship what creates value, not what's loudest.
Stakeholder Alignment
Share voting results with clients. Data-backed priorities are easier to defend than opinions
Team Buy-In
When developers vote, they commit. Prioritized work gets done faster because the team chose it
Scope Clarity
High-vote stories become sprint candidates. Low-vote stories wait. Simple, defensible logic
We used to argue for hours about what to build next. Now we vote on Monday, review results on Tuesday, and sprint planning takes 30 minutes instead of 3 hours.
Carlos Mendez
CEO, Product Studio (12 developers)
Analytics view is my secret weapon. When stakeholders ask why we're building X instead of Y, I show them the chart. Team voted 47 to 3. Discussion over.
Priya Sharma
Delivery Lead, Enterprise Software
Backlog chaos.
Sorted.
200 user stories in the backlog. Everyone has an opinion. No clear way to decide what's next. Voting creates objective ranking. The backlog organizes itself.
Democratic Prioritization
Every team member's voice counts equally. No single person dominates the roadmap
Data for Stakeholders
Show executives the voting analytics. Participation rate proves team engagement
Sprint Planning Input
Top-voted stories become sprint candidates. Objective criteria replace gut feelings
Your voice matters.
Actually.
Product decides, you build. But you know which stories are technically viable, which are gold-plated scope creep, and which would actually move the needle. Voting lets you signal that knowledge.
Influence Priorities
Vote for stories you know will deliver value. Your technical insight shapes the roadmap
Avoid Wasted Effort
Low-vote stories often stay in backlog. Less time building features nobody wanted
See Team Consensus
Before you start a story, see if the team agrees it matters. Voter avatars show who's aligned
I voted against a user story that would've taken 3 sprints. When the team saw only 2 votes, PM asked why. I explained the technical debt. Story got rescoped. Voting saved us weeks.
Alex Chen
Senior Backend Developer
I used to feel ignored when my feature requests sat in backlog. Now I see the voting board—my story has 2 votes, the top one has 31. I get it. I'm lobbying internally for more votes.
Jennifer Walsh
Product Owner, FinTech Client
See what's coming.
And why.
You want features delivered. The team says they're prioritizing. But how? Voting transparency shows you exactly which stories the team values and why your requests are (or aren't) at the top.
Transparent Prioritization
See vote counts on every story. Understand why some features ship before others
Advocate Effectively
Rally internal stakeholders to vote for your priorities. Votes speak louder than emails

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about the voting board
Can team members vote multiple times on the same story?
No. One vote per person per user story. Clicking again removes your vote. This prevents gaming and ensures fair representation.
Who can see how I voted?
Voter avatars are visible on each story. Everyone can see who voted for what. This transparency prevents anonymous manipulation and encourages thoughtful voting.
Can clients vote on user stories?
If they're added as project members with appropriate permissions, yes. Voting requires authentication, so external stakeholders need accounts.
How do analytics update?
Analytics are cached for performance but refresh frequently. The List and Grid views show real-time vote counts. Analytics view reflects data within the hour.
Can I filter stories before voting?
Yes. Sort by votes (most/least), recency, or completion progress. This helps you focus on stories that match your criteria.
Does voting affect story priority automatically?
Voting informs priority but doesn't auto-assign it. Project managers still set priority levels. Voting provides input, not automation.
What's the participation rate metric?
Percentage of stories that have received at least one vote. High participation rate means the team is actively engaged in prioritization.
Can I export voting data?
Analytics charts are visual. For raw data export, use the API endpoints or discuss with your admin. The interface is designed for decision-making, not reporting.
