Surveys are the mechanism that allows you to get your team-members to give input into a decision. There are two types of survey, ones that are for prioritizing your criteria and ones that are for scoring your alternatives. Surveys are automatically generated by TransparentChoice based on the criteria you created and on the alternatives in your system.

 

Surveys and meetings are a very powerful tool for quantifying subjective opinion and for building strong consensus-based buy-in amongst your stakeholders. This tutorial will give you more information.

 

To create a new survey to weight (or prioritize) your criteria, navigate to the "Manage surveys" option. 

 

If you're using the project prioritization application, you will find it here:

 

 

If you're using our AHP Pro product (or some variant) you will find it here:

 

This will open a screen like this:

 

 

Each survey includes links that let you manage the survey.

 

Learn more about starting, stopping and pausing surveys and meetings. 

 

 

Learn more about how to invite people to your surveys and meetings.

 

You can limit which criteria or alternatives are included in the survey as follows.

 

If you have too many questions, take a look at your criterion hierarchy. Make sure you don't have too many criteria at each level. The rule of thumb is that 4-5 crtieria at each level is the maximum that people really process well.

 

 

Sub-surveys let you, for example, survey different stakeholder groups to get their opinions. For example, in a hospital you might run one survey for doctors, one for nurses and one for hospital administrators. You may then want to combine those "sub-surveys" into one survey (using the link shown above) to get an overall picture.
