Recommended Huddle Metrics

Recommended Huddle Metrics

Metrics are the areas that people will provide assessments and insights on when they make their Teamgage Huddle submission, and what each team will look to focus on and improve over time. Metrics are fully customisable, allowing you to measure and improve the areas that are relevant to your strategy and goals.

Guidelines for creating metrics:

We want to ensure you're generating regular insights and action at every level. Do this by ensuring your metrics are:
  1. Focused: Submissions should be fast so 7 is the ideal number of metrics for each submission cycle.
  2. Meaningful: Ensure metrics are aligned with your strategic goals. Use your organisation's own voice and terminology.
  3. Actionable: Ensure metrics are relevant and actionable in teams. Avoid vague, high-level or abstract concepts.
  4. Engaging: Update/rotate your metrics regularly to keep the process relevant and engaging.

We've provided a list of metric recommendations below. Alternatively, contact support@teamgage.com to book a consultation session and receive tailored recommendations from a Teamgage expert based on your strategy and goals.

Our recommended metric set has been developed based on validated research into team health and effectiveness and our own research across thousands of teams using Teamgage. These metrics provide an effective indicator of their ability to successfully navigate change and perform at a high level.
