Overview
Why do this?
- Sometimes you need to have a benchmark to test against.
- OR you have two different (but equally valid) winning solutions you want to learn about.
- OR you have a large team that is able to divide efforts and be more aspirational.
This is a moment to reflect and decide if you should (or can) do one or more prototype.

How to do this activity
Allow max 20 mins
- The facilitator should help guide this decision by:
- Asking all the team members how much time they can commit to build the prototype/s (Day 4) and perform testing with customers (Day 5)
- Asking if there are any other resources available to help with the extra work of testing multiple concepts
- Giving the team an idea of how much time & effort might be needed to build the "winning" prototypes
- Vote or discuss
- Vote
- Set the timer for 10 mins
- Have an open discussion with the group where anyone can voice their thoughts about whether they think the team should Rumble (test multiple ideas) or do All-in-one (test one concept)
- Set another timer for 1 min
- Write 2 stickies: "Rumble" and "All-in-one"
- Each person has one vote
- The Decider can make the final choice, or you can go with the group's votes
- Discuss
- Set the timer for 10 mins
- Have an open discussion with the group where anyone can voice their thoughts about whether they think the team should Rumble (test multiple ideas) or do All-in-one (test one concept)
- If necessary the Decider acts as the tie-breaker and makes the final call
