Effective Consensus Building Techniques for Project Review Meetings

This working group review agenda includes presentations, exercises, and a focus on building consensus using tools like Nominal Group Technique and Affinity Diagrams to turn subjective input into objective actions. Participants are guided by a code of conduct for productive discussions. Consensus does not require complete agreement but aims for alignment on the best path forward. Presentations, exercises, and appendix materials help facilitate understanding and decision-making.
