Priority / feasability plot • Give each participant a stack of post it notes • Give them ten minutes to write out as many requirements, in user story format as possible • Collect them all and go through the pile placing them on a MSCW vs feasibility chart to map out where the requirements sit • A quick way to do this is with voting panels
