DESIGN THE ANSWER SPACE

PROMPT 01

Which agreement is hardest to follow?

Optional short textRetain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating.
PROMPT 02

When did our norms help a decision?

Optional written explanationKeep context that distinguishes different experiences. Agreement does not prove consistent behavior.
PROMPT 03

What agreement needs clarification?

Optional improvement suggestionKeep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Define urgency examples and response expectations.

Suggested formats to adapt, not preconfigured product fields.

Read the answers carefully

Keep the conclusion within the evidence.

Agreement does not prove consistent behavior.

Members interpret urgent requests differently. This is a synthetic example, not a customer result. Agreement does not prove consistent behavior.

A useful starting point

Questions to understand the actual experience.

Check whether agreed team norms work in practice. 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.

QUESTION 01

Which agreement is hardest to follow?

The hardest agreement to follow identifies a specific norm whose wording or practical conditions need review, rather than overall approval of the charter.

QUESTION 02

When did our norms help a decision?

A useful norm example shows whether the charter informed an actual choice instead of remaining abstract wording. Review the relevant condition and boundary, without assuming one successful example proves that every norm works consistently.

QUESTION 03

What agreement needs clarification?

A requested clarification identifies the boundary or example the team needs to apply an agreement consistently; confirm its meaning with those affected.

Examples to adapt, rather than a validated research instrument.

A worked interpretation example

From a comment to a practical next step.

Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.

01 / OBSERVE

Keep the finding specific

Members interpret urgent requests differently.

02 / INVESTIGATE

Choose an action to test

Define urgency examples and response expectations.

03 / FOLLOW UP

Check the experience again

After trying the change, repeat “Which agreement is hardest to follow?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: members interpret urgent requests differently. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.

Before you send it

Check what your wording assumes.

BEFORE / LEADING

Would you agree that everything about team charter feedback was clear and easy?

AFTER / CONTEXTUAL

Which agreement is hardest to follow?

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.

Make room for the explanation.

From question to next step

Make the feedback useful.

01

Set the decision

Start with the decision: Check whether agreed team norms work in practice.

02

Invite relevant voices

Invite people with relevant experience. Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which agreement is hardest to follow?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.

03

Choose an action

Define urgency examples and response expectations.

Before you send it

Questions, answered.

Who should receive this questionnaire?

People and team leaders who experienced the working arrangement. 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 agreement is hardest to follow?”, 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?

Members interpret urgent requests differently. This is an illustrative pattern to look for, not a claim about your respondents. Agreement does not prove consistent behavior.

What would a practical follow-up look like?

Define urgency examples and response expectations. After trying the change, repeat “Which agreement is hardest to follow?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: members interpret urgent requests differently. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.

How should I ask “When did our norms help a decision?”?

A useful norm example shows whether the charter informed an actual choice instead of remaining abstract wording. Review the relevant condition and boundary, without assuming one successful example proves that every norm works consistently. Use an optional written explanation when predefined choices would hide relevant context.

Can I use the questions in SurveyTeams?
