Team health-check survey + summary

Overview

This recipe gives you a repeatable health-check cadence. Team members rate 8 dimensions on a 1–5 scale, optionally add anonymous comments, and Meridian compiles a heatmap + trend line for leadership review.

Dimensions measured

• Psychological safety
• Clarity of goals
• Delivery momentum
• Technical quality
• Cross-team collaboration
• Autonomy & empowerment
• Learning & growth
• Work-life balance

Survey template

1. I feel safe raising concerns without fear of blame.
2. Our sprint goals are clear and achievable.
3. We ship what we commit to each cycle.
4. Our codebase is maintainable and well-tested.
5. Other teams are easy to work with.
6. I have the autonomy to make decisions.
7. I am growing my skills in this role.
8. My workload feels sustainable.

Summary output

Meridian auto-generates a radar chart per dimension, a rolling 4-week trend, and a red/amber/green table. Anonymous verbatim comments are grouped by theme so you can spot patterns without identifying individuals.

Cadence

Run the survey every 2 weeks. Keep it under 5 minutes. Share the summary at the start of retro so the conversation is grounded in data, not anecdotes.
