WHAT TO READ · WHAT TO TEST

Observation

Example answers identify two teams assuming the other owns a request.

Interpretation boundary

A team structure announcement is not evidence that daily responsibilities are understood.

Next experiment

Document the shared request path and clarify the decision owner.

Illustrative scenario. These are not real response counts or findings.

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

Example answers identify two teams assuming the other owns a request.

02 / INVESTIGATE

Choose an action to test

Document the shared request path and clarify the decision owner.

03 / FOLLOW UP

Check the experience again

After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Example answers identify two teams assuming the other owns a request. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.

Read the answers carefully

What the answers cannot tell you.

A team structure announcement is not evidence that daily responsibilities are understood.

Example answers identify two teams assuming the other owns a request. This is an illustrative interpretation problem rather than a real customer result. Document the shared request path and clarify the decision owner.

From question to next step

Make the feedback useful.

01

Set the decision

Write down the decision you want this questionnaire to support: understand whether people can navigate new responsibilities after a team change.

02

Invite relevant voices

Invite people who experienced the relevant situation. Explain response handling and include an optional skip or not-applicable route. A team structure announcement is not evidence that daily responsibilities are understood.

03

Choose an action

Document the shared request path and clarify the decision owner.

A useful starting point

A questionnaire for team restructuring.

Understand whether people can navigate new responsibilities after a team change. Choose the questions that fit the experience you are investigating; avoid asking people to evaluate a step they did not encounter.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

QUESTION 01

Which responsibility is now clear to you?

Start with what is clear so the team retains working responsibilities while resolving uncertainty.

QUESTION 02

Which decision still has an unclear owner?

Locate an unowned decision that could delay work; avoid treating every change in reporting lines as confusion.

QUESTION 03

What information would help you work with the new team?

Find information needed for interaction with the new team, including contacts or decision routes.

QUESTION 04

Where are responsibilities overlapping?

Separate useful shared responsibility from duplicate ownership that creates conflicting instructions.

QUESTION 05

Which handoff needs a clearer route?

Name a handoff and the missing route so the restructuring action can be tested in a real workflow.

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.

BEFORE / LEADING

Would you agree that team restructuring feedback was a completely positive experience?

AFTER / CONTEXTUAL

Which responsibility is now clear to you?

The initial wording assumes a positive evaluation. The revised question asks about the actual situation so a respondent can describe difficulty, uncertainty, or a different experience.

Before you send it

Questions, answered.

What should I learn from this team restructuring questionnaire?

Understand whether people can navigate new responsibilities after a team change. Start with one decision you can act on rather than using the survey to confirm a preferred answer.

What should I look for in the answer to “Which decision still has an unclear owner?”?

Locate an unowned decision that could delay work; avoid treating every change in reporting lines as confusion.

What would a practical next action look like?

Document the shared request path and clarify the decision owner. This is an example action to investigate, not a guaranteed improvement.

When should I send this questionnaire?

Ask after respondents have experienced the specific situation in the first prompt: “Which responsibility is now clear to you?” Allow enough time after a proposed change for people to experience it before repeating the questionnaire.

What should I check after changing the process?

After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Example answers identify two teams assuming the other owns a request. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
