When working with a team, you gain a variety of different viewpoints on a data set. However, you eventually may want to gain consensus on what type of snippets belong in a particular code.
This this article, we break down how to evaluate if a code has achieved consensus, and if not, how to get to consensus your team.
Step 1. Add code description
The first step is to agree on an initial definition for a code when it's created. You can use the 'description box' inside a code to add a definition. We encourage you to have discussions with your team (over zoom, in a meeting, or elsewhere) about these code descriptions.
Step 2. Code snippets with this code
Have different members of your team code various transcripts according to this code. The snippets will appear in the code detail page as they're coded.
Step 3. Read snippets, and use memos to discuss coding decisions
Read through all the snippets in a code. If you find that some do not fit the code description, use the Who Coded What feature to see who coded that snippet. And then, use the Memos feature to ask them a question and begin a discussion.
Step 4. Remove snippets that do not belong
If you find snippets that don't fit with a code, remove them.
Step 5. Continue adding snippets that do belong
Keep coding, iteratively until the code has a set of snippets that fit well within it.
