For which purposes it is used

The optimum of this technique is when there is a vast number of concepts that must be reduced down and chosen. It is a fast and straightforward way of prioritizing solutions from a vast list of possibilities. It makes use of the collective expertise of the team and gives an equitable opportunity for all of the voices on the team to be heard and held accountable in the process of prioritizing critical problems. It also fosters a feeling of participation by allowing people to see the decision-making process in action and get an understanding of how the ultimate decision was reached. Because participants are not forced to make a comparative evaluation of each alternative, it is less cognitively difficult than having to do a thorough ranking of all the possibilities. Additionally, it enables participants to show a preference for more than one option at the same time. It is a technique that helps students speak and enhances their presentation skills as well as increases the students’ learning motivation.
