Do you care about velocity, sentiment, output, outcomes? A combo of all of the above? What's important to you in assessing your team's performance and how do you measure it? Surveys? Jira? Other tools? Excel?
@Jack Brickey , 1) love your emoji reminds me that I should rewatch that movie this week, 2) I'm a huge fan of, what I consider, to be a very well-rounded view of your team's effectiveness.
What kind of signals do you look for in measuring team happiness?
@Mary Raleigh , certainly one of my favorite movies.
It can certainly be a challenge to read people, especially their happiness but the longer you have known them the easier it becomes. I like 1-1s especially away from work e.g. lunch but 2020 has kicked that out the window. I look for changes in participation- late for or missing meetings, interactions with others during brainstorming sessions or similar, increase or decrease in work output.
Changes in participation is a great idea! I love that as an early signal, thanks so much @Jack Brickey !
