Microsoft Teams can be a busy place. With so much going on it can be hard to keep track of what’s happening. How do you gather input from your team, or bring people together to solve a problem? How do you consolidate the feedback and make decisions?

Krunch introduces managed discussions in Microsoft Teams.

**Managed discussions**

So what is a managed discussion? Simply it's posing a question or topic in a channel and having your team submit their ideas or responses in a structured way, and voting on others' responses and comments.

**Analytics**

And here's where the magic really starts. As the discussion owner you can view all the stats of the conversation in real time—without trawling through the thread:

- How many posts were submitted and when.

- How many comments and votes were created.

- Which posts were most popular with the team.

- Who responded—and who didn't.

**Three simple steps to more productive discussions**

*Define*

Install the krunch app in a channel then create a discussion outlining the problem you’re trying to solve or the question you want feedback on. It could be "I'm looking for feedback on our strategic plan" or "Should we paint the office wall blue?" — or anything in between!

*Discuss*

Engage the team. Everyone with access to the channel can add their ideas and feedback—and promote other contributions by voting and commenting.

*Discover*

See the results. Krunch analytics will then help you understand the conversation flow, highlighting top posts and participation stats. You'll quickly see where there’s consensus and where there are issues to look at more closely.

**What can I do with krunch?**

*Business collaboration*

Whether you're a multi-national or small team krunch will let you collaborate more simply and directly. There's nothing to setup and it works seamlessly within Teams.

*Employee engagement*

How do you gauge employee satisfaction and engagement—the occasional survey? What happens next? Use krunch to reflect the issues and start to really understand what’s going on.

*Educational*

Krunch is a perfect tool for working on problems with your class. Set a question or problem and watch them solve it together.

*Community groups*

Ditch the dizzyingly-long email threads and reduce the clutter with krunch for your local community, sports or special interest group.
