Frame, discuss, decide, and assign

Free Decision Making Timer

Use a decision making timer for framing a choice, reviewing options, discussing tradeoffs, deciding, and assigning next steps. Create an XTimer room when teams need a shared decision clock during meetings or workshops.

Built for this job

Teams can separate framing, discussion, decision, and next steps.

Decision meetings are less likely to consume the whole agenda.

XTimer rooms support shared decision making timers across chairs, facilitators, and participants.
