About the Health Check
Help your team align on issues and find opportunities to level up
What is this?
The Analytics Team Health Check is a team-based assessment tool inspired by the Spotify Squad Health Check model. It helps teams evaluate their data and analytics capability across 12 key dimensions.
Rather than relying on external consultants or complex frameworks, this tool empowers your team to self-assess and track progress over time through simple, collaborative conversations.
How does it work?
Each team member rates 12 dimensions using a simple traffic light system:
- Awesome - Things are going great
- Average - Some problems, but not critical
- Alarming - Serious issues that need attention
Team members can also indicate whether each dimension is improving, maintaining, or deteriorating compared to the previous quarter, along with optional comments to provide context.
