The $100 Test - Why Monopoly Money Beats PowerPoint for Prioritization

Tired of endless priority debates that go nowhere? In this episode of the Workshopr.io Podcast, hosts Bill and Grace reveal how Monopoly money can solve your team's prioritization paralysis in just 30 minutes.

What You'll Learn:

• Why traditional prioritization discussions fail (and how "priority theater" wastes everyone's time)
• The psychology behind why physical money triggers better decision-making than digital alternatives
• Step-by-step instructions for running the $100 Test with your team
• How to handle common pitfalls and resistance from skeptical team members
• Advanced variations like "Budget Cuts" and "Role Reversal" for deeper insights
• 
  

The Promise: Stop debating priorities in the abstract and start making trade-offs physical and visible. When you force teams to literally put their money where their mouth is, you'll discover what they really think matters—often surprising everyone, including themselves.

Perfect for product managers, team leads, designers, and anyone exhausted by circular priority conversations that leave everyone frustrated and nothing decided.
