Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Choose an action to test
Confirm scope and priorities in a handoff meeting.
Check the experience again
After trying the change, repeat “Which expectation was not discussed at handoff?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: delivery teams lack the customer's agreed priority order. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
Read the answers carefully
Keep the conclusion within the evidence.
Do not publish confidential contract terms.

From question to next step
Make the feedback useful.
Set the decision
Start with the decision: Improve context when sales agreements reach delivery teams.
Invite relevant voices
Invite people with relevant experience. Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which expectation was not discussed at handoff?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
Choose an action
Confirm scope and priorities in a handoff meeting.
A useful starting point
Questions to understand the actual experience.
Improve context when sales agreements reach delivery teams. Use the prompts relevant to your audience and allow people to skip situations they did not encounter. Keep response handling consistent with what you explain in the invitation.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Which expectation was not discussed at handoff?
Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: delivery teams lack the customer's agreed priority order.
What document helped explain the agreement?
Useful agreement references reveal what delivery teams need to understand promised scope. Link the approved source and its relevant section; a respondent's preferred document does not determine the agreement's legal meaning.
What should be confirmed before work begins?
Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: confirm scope and priorities in a handoff meeting.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate. Which expectation was not discussed at handoff? What document helped explain the agreement? What should be confirmed before work begins?

Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Which expectation was not discussed at handoff? | Optional short text | Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating. |
| What document helped explain the agreement? | Optional written explanation | Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Do not publish confidential contract terms. |
| What should be confirmed before work begins? | Optional improvement suggestion | Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Confirm scope and priorities in a handoff meeting. |
Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that everything about commercial handoff was clear and easy?
Which expectation was not discussed at handoff?
The first wording combines an assumed positive outcome with two different judgments. The revised prompt asks about a specific experience and permits an inconvenient or uncertain answer.

Questions, answered.
Who should receive this questionnaire?
Customers and service owners involved in the described interaction. Ask only about steps each person encountered; do not treat a voluntary response sample as representative.
When should I ask these questions?
Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which expectation was not discussed at handoff?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
What should I investigate in the answers?
Delivery teams lack the customer's agreed priority order. This is an illustrative pattern to look for, not a claim about your respondents. Do not publish confidential contract terms.
What would a practical follow-up look like?
Confirm scope and priorities in a handoff meeting. After trying the change, repeat “Which expectation was not discussed at handoff?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: delivery teams lack the customer's agreed priority order. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
How should I ask “What document helped explain the agreement?”?
Useful agreement references reveal what delivery teams need to understand promised scope. Link the approved source and its relevant section; a respondent's preferred document does not determine the agreement's legal meaning. Use an optional written explanation when predefined choices would hide relevant context.
Can I use the questions in SurveyTeams?
