Grapevine is an informal way of spreading information. It is also known as grapevine telegraph. It is a person-to-person method of spreading rumors, gossip, and information.

Consensus is a general agreement or opinion that is shared by everyone in a group. It is a group discussion where everyone's opinions are heard and understood, and a solution is created that respects those opinions. 
Remember: Consensus is not what everyone agrees to, nor is it the preference of the majority. Consensus results in the best solution that the group can achieve at the time.
