Features¶

This section describes how Rhizome is structured and which tools the app provides for collaboration and decision-making.

Concepts¶

The building blocks of Rhizome — organizational structure, working levels, and views.

• Workspaces and groups — how Rhizome maps organizational structures
• Topics and phases — the lifecycle of a topic from idea to archive
• Views — the different perspectives on your organization
• Notifications — how Rhizome keeps you informed about relevant activity

Decision modes¶

Rhizome offers a range of methods for making decisions — from deliberative formats to classic voting.

• Consent — no one has a serious objection
• Consensus — everyone actively agrees
• Majority vote — the option with the most votes is accepted
• Distributing points — a point budget is allocated across options
• Ranking — individual rankings are combined
• Resistance polling — the option with the least resistance is chosen
