Pairwise

The Pairwise step in Platform is an “A/B” idea comparison tool. The evaluator can then select the idea they like better - or select neither idea before being presented with the next pairing.

• When a Pairwise action item is triggered, the Evaluator will be able to select the best idea from each comparison.
• The Evaluator is presented with two ideas at a time and selects the best one.
• After all ideas are evaluated, an algorithm then ranks the ideas based on a point system.

Configure the Pairwise Tool:

•  
  • To get started with the Pairwise tool, navigate to Step Ellipsis Menu > Configure Pairwise:

•  
  • In the Pairwise configuration section, the Pipeline Admin will need to set the following parameters:
    • Evaluators: Select the users who will review the ideas.
    • Due Date: The Admin can set the due date dynamically from the date assigned or manually select a date.

•  
  •  
    • Idea Editing: Assignees who are not already administrators will be able to edit some idea attributes such as idea title, description and category.
    • Action Items: Cancel open action items when submission moves out of Step.
    • Send Email Alert: Allows the manager to enable or disable the email alert on assignment.

•  
  •  
    • Recurring Reminders: Send email reminders to assignees if they have not completed an open action item within the configured amount of time.
      • Reminders will be sent at the configured interval until the assignee has completed at least one action item for the step, after which the timer will reset.
      • Recurring reminders will only be triggered if the assignee has not completed any open action items for the step. It will not be sent on an individual action item basis.
    • Action Item Escalation: Notify certain recipients when an action item hasn’t been completed in X days.
    • Select Activate to complete the configuration. 

Assignee's experience:

•  
  • The selected evaluators will complete all assigned Pairwise action items by selecting the idea they like best from each presented pair.
