Split the Points

Split the Points is the live allocation slide for decisions that are not yes-or-no: how should we spend the budget, which features get the roadmap slots, where should the team focus this quarter. Audiences distribute a fixed total across options from their phone; the aggregated result shows exactly where the group weight lands.

How Split the Points works

Split the Points is a single voting slide with a total-must-equal constraint that forces trade-offs:

1. List the options to allocate across: features, budget lines, team goals, or any set.
2. Set the total (100%, $10K, 20 points) and any per-option limits you need.
3. Audiences drag sliders on their phone until their allocation adds up to the total.
4. The presenter view aggregates every submission into a single group weighting.

Best for

Split the Points fits any decision where "everything is important" is not a real answer:

• Product managers: feature prioritisation, roadmap slot allocation, sprint scoping sessions.
• Finance & leadership: budget-splitting workshops across teams, initiatives, or line items.
• Strategy consultants: client workshops on where to invest time, headcount, or capital.
• HR & team leads: OKR weighting, quarterly focus votes, and priority-of-priorities exercises.

Why teams love Split the Points

Split the Points is the slide teams use when the fear is "we said everything is important, so nothing changed":

• Forces real trade-offs: the total constraint prevents "everything gets 10 out of 10" voting.
• Shows group weighting clearly: the aggregated split makes the collective priority obvious.
• Anonymous by default: honest allocations, especially on politically sensitive spending.
• Custom units: points, percentages, dollars, hours; whatever unit the decision is denominated in.

Free to run and the sharpest way to turn a prioritisation debate into a group decision.
