Agile Team Health Check Survey

The intention of this is to check in and see how you are feeling about the work that you are doing. The answers you provide should feed a conversation within your team about what is and isn't working well. Be brutally honest -- this is all about continuous improvement. There are 8 rating-scale questions and this should take less than 10 minutes. Each question represents a dimension that we consider important to overall team health.
