Team Barometer questions and template
The Universal Team Barometer Health Check template is a reimagined version of the traditional Spotify Squad Health Check that's been tailored to work for all teams. The Team Barometer questions assess a team's maturity, happiness, and satisfaction by prompting participants to reflect on a broad spectrum of topics.
By regularly implementing Team Barometer Health Checks, you'll foster an environment of psychological safety, create a culture of candid feedback and transparency, and be able to identify and address challenges that may not come up in standard retrospectives.
