Talk:MindRanker

I am intrigued by where you are going here and am currious as to when you will "go public" with this on the Blog.

Answer
This script provides an enhanced/objective way to assign weightings to the questions in DecisionMill rather than artibrarily picking a 1-10 factor. I'm hoping it will get built into the v7 version, but if not, this will provide a typical "AO" enhancement. It can also be used directly to sort a small set of tasks or projects. Have you tried it? I banged it out Friday night and am hoping to apply it at work this week.

Response
No, I have not tried it yet. I was reading through the references you included at the top of the macro. I can see where this could be a very useful tool to add to our Six Sigma tool box though. I am trying to figure out where I might have a good practical but not too big decision on which I can try it out.

Follow-up
This is handy for a 1-layer prioritization or ranking of projects or criteria. DecisionMill will go one layer deeper and let you score several options on a scale and then combine that with the weightings that this routine spits out. Putting decisions in this framework still requires some thinking as so often we all make them by "gut".
