Fist to 5
A technique used to get a quick consensus from a group. Each person responds to a
posed question showing the number of fingers that correlates to their feelings on the
matter. Each person in the group must vote with a 3 or higher for the group to advance or
for the topic to be accepted. If participants vote less than 3, they get the opportunity to
explain their position and continue discussion.
