Decision wheel

Do you have problems with landing decisions in your workplace? So do we! 

I have an idea for how we can make decisions at my workplace, without having to have long, drawn-out meetings. It goes as follows: 

Every stakeholder prepares a short pitch to what is the right decicion based on their point of view. They write one-two sentences in their section of the decision wheel. After everyone has pitched their point of view, everyone gets to put a marble in any of the sections of the wheel - the decision they believe is the correct one. 

If there are more than one section that has the same amount of marbles, all other sections of the wheel are removed, and they have to vote again - only amongst the sections that are left on the wheel. 

I am picturing that the wheel follows the laws of gravity, meaning that the section that gets the most marbles, ends up at the bottom of the wheel. 

I would love to create this decision wheel in Miro. Does anyone have any tips or templates for this?

Hi ​@Janne Langø  — thanks for sharing this creative and well-thought-out idea! 

 

While Miro doesn’t currently have a built-in “gravity-based wheel” mechanic, you could absolutely prototype something like this using a combination of:

  • Frames or pie segments for each stakeholder’s proposal

  • Sticky notes or tokens as “marbles” that users drag into their chosen section

  • Optional: Miro Smart Meetings features to timebox pitch rounds and voting phases

  • Optional: Add a Voting app session to simulate the marble step digitally

 

If you’re comfortable building from scratch, you could also start with a pie chart-style wheel and assign each segment to a stakeholder. Users can then drag tokens into the segment they choose.

 

I’d also suggest checking the Miroverse for facilitation and decision-making templates — search terms like “decision making,” “consensus,” or “prioritization” may surface ideas to remix into your own version.

I’ve built a few decision-making tools myself, and one thing I’ve learned is that many people need a quick, lightweight option outside of a full whiteboard workflow.

If anyone needs a standalone, fast decision wheel, this one works well:  Spin the Wheel

And if you prefer something even simpler (a coin flip style tool), here’s a lightweight option:  Coin Flip

These aren’t meant to replace Miro’s built-in tools — more like small utilities you can keep in a browser tab while collaborating. Sometimes it’s just faster to run quick randomization outside the board, especially during workshops or ideation sessions.

Curious how others use decision wheels during team activities.
