About Preeority
Stop debating.
Start deciding.
Preeority started as a personal productivity tool. It evolved into something more useful: a workshop format for teams that need to align on priorities — fast.
Start a WorkshopWhat Preeority is
Preeority is a workshop-driven decision tool for teams. A facilitator creates a session for a list of tasks, features, or ideas. Everyone in the room joins on their phone — no account required — and votes in rapid pairwise rounds.
The ranking updates live on the facilitator's screen. When the order stops changing, you have your answer. The whole thing takes minutes, not meetings.
The method: pairwise comparison
Ranking a long list is hard. Choosing between two options is easy. Preeority exploits this by showing each participant exactly two items at a time and asking: which one matters more?
Responses are aggregated using an Elo-based algorithm — the same system used to rank chess players. Tasks that consistently beat others rise to the top. Tasks that lose sink. The result is a ranking that reflects collective judgment, not the loudest voice in the room.
A stability metric tracks how much the ranking is still changing. When it crosses a confidence threshold, the session can end — no need to guess when you've collected enough data.
When teams use it
Sprint planning
Align the team on which backlog items to pull into the next sprint, without the usual scoring debate.
Roadmap decisions
Let stakeholders vote on feature priorities. Everyone's input counts equally.
Project kickoffs
Start a project with a shared understanding of what the team thinks is most important.
Retrospective actions
Prioritize which improvements to actually act on, so retros produce real change.
Individual use
The same method works for personal task lists. Build a list, run through pairwise comparisons on your own, and use Focus Mode to surface your single highest-priority item. Individual use is still supported — it's just no longer the primary story.
