A useful starting point
Three questions for this specific decision.
Improve individual meeting structure. These prompts examine time allocation, agenda clarity, record usefulness. Choose only questions your audience can answer. A missing detail can be answered with none; do not assume an issue occurred.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Which topic needed more time?
Read for time allocation. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
What agenda instruction was unclear?
Read for agenda clarity. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
What follow-up record was useful?
