A Free Heat Map in Google Sheets for Team Decision Making

Here's a free visual Heat Map for Google Sheets for groups to rank a list of competing priorities and discover where they're aligned.

This free Heat Map for Google Sheets allows groups of people to rank and vote on a list of competing priorities, goals, or initiatives.

It provides a simple color-coded visual summary that reveals group alignment and energy.

This tool is useful for any group that needs to make team decisions – from startups to non-profit and church groups and even for families.

At Tiller, we use this heatmap to evaluate consensus on development priorities. It’s perfect for our remote team since it’s based in the cloud on Google Sheets. (We also use the $100 Test spreadsheet.)

Google Sheets Heatmap for Team Decision Making

How the Heat Map Works

In the example heatmap, a ten-person team is voting to rank the top ten features they’d like to see implemented next in an app they’re building.

“1” is the highest vote. Since there are ten options, 10 is the lowest vote. Top votes are automatically color-coded dark to light blue.

With this simple tool, a team can quickly can rank and see:

  • The sum of features (or outcomes) that get a #1 vote
  • The sum of features with a 1, 2, or 3 vote
  • The number of votes of all kinds
