ForceRank

Stop Debating. Start Ranking.

Everyone ranks independently. The tool finds consensus and shows where you disagree. No more endless priority meetings.

Used by 30,000+ people to make better decisions.

Prioritization meetings shouldn't take all day.

You know the drill. Fifteen people in a room. A whiteboard full of sticky notes. Two hours later, the loudest voice wins and everyone else quietly disagrees.

The problem isn't your team. It's the process.

  • Too many priorities means nothing is actually a priority
  • Debates loop endlessly because nobody has to commit to a ranking
  • The group "agrees" on a plan, but half the team walks away misaligned
  • Three months later you're back in the same room having the same conversation

You don't need another brainstorm. You need a way to force real tradeoffs, capture what everyone actually thinks, and see exactly where the team agrees and disagrees.

Three steps. Five minutes. Real alignment.

Step 1

Create a Question

Write your question, add the items to rank, and share the link with your team. No accounts required for respondents.

Step 2

Everyone Ranks Independently

Each person drag-and-drops items into their priority order. No ties allowed, so everyone commits to real tradeoffs. No groupthink.

Step 3

See Consensus and Disagreement

The tool calculates mathematically optimal group ranking and shows you exactly where the team aligns and where they don't. Now you know what to discuss.

Try it yourself

Drag the items to rank these initiatives in order of priority. When you're done, see how your ranking compares to the team.

Built for teams that need clarity

Wherever your team struggles to align on what matters most, ForceRank brings focus.

Quarterly Planning

Align your leadership team on what matters most this quarter. Force the hard tradeoffs before committing resources, not after.

Roadmap Prioritization

Product teams rank features independently, then see where PMs, engineers, and stakeholders actually agree. Ship the right things first.

Idea Ranking

Got twenty ideas and budget for three? Let the team rank them, find consensus fast, and move on to execution.

Budget Decisions

When everything is "high priority," forced ranking reveals what the team would actually fund first. Turn wish lists into investment plans.

Team Retrospectives

Rank what went well, what to improve, what to try next. Surface the issues the team cares about most without the loudest voice dominating.

Why teams choose ForceRank

No Ties. Real Tradeoffs.

Most tools let people "thumbs up" everything. ForceRank forces stack ranking so every person makes actual priority decisions. No hedging.

See Where You Disagree

Other tools show you the result. ForceRank shows you the alignment: who agrees, who's the outlier, and which items cause the most debate. That's where the real conversation starts.

Done in Minutes, Not Meetings

Share a link. People rank on their own time from any device. Results calculate instantly. Replace a one-hour meeting with a five-minute async exercise.

No Accounts. No Friction.

Respondents click the link and rank. No signup, no app to install, no passwords. The person creating the question gets an account; everyone else just participates.

Teams that rank together, decide faster.

ForceRank replaces hours of circular debate with clear, data-backed priorities. Here's what teams say after making the switch.

ForceRank was fantastic – we used it to prioritize our projects for the 2022 budget. It made the process transparent and got everyone aligned quickly.

I love ForceRank. By virtue of its simplicity, it forces real prioritization decisions. No more "everything is priority 1" – you have to actually choose.
