Team Health Check - Spotify Squad Model

Team: [TEAM_NAME]
Assessment Date: [DATE]
Facilitator: [FACILITATOR_NAME]
Participants: [PARTICIPANT_COUNT] of [TOTAL_TEAM_SIZE] members

Health Check Overview

The Team Health Check is based on Spotify's Squad Health Check model, designed to visualize team health across multiple dimensions. Each dimension is assessed using a simple traffic light system:

  • 🟢 Green (Awesome): We're doing great! No major concerns.
  • 🟡 Yellow (Some Concerns): We're doing okay, but there are some things we could improve.
  • 🔴 Red (Not Good): This really sucks and we need to do something about it.

Assessment Method

  • Anonymous individual ratings followed by team discussion
  • Focus on trends over time rather than absolute scores
  • Action-oriented outcomes for improvement areas
