I guess that "THC" stands for "Team Health Check". Please avoid acronyms-only so team outsiders could understand what a public task is about. Thanks! :)

@KLans_WMF

Do you know what needs to be edited? This seems to make reference to an invite. Would this be template text for an email?

I don't see anything here:

@Awjrichards: I thought you already put a link to the on-wiki template in a comment in this ticket, but apparently not. Isn't that where this text comes from?

@ksmith @DStrine ah - I don't believe we have a template on-wiki for the meeting invitation copy (which is what I believe this is in reference to). Below is the copy that was used for the invite for the Language Engineering team's health check. In addition to updating the copy itself, let's get this posted on a wiki page somewhere as a subpage of our team's page so that it can exist in one canonical spot.

The Team Practices Group [1] has been developing the survey [2] to provide a barometer of team health across WMF Engineering. It's time for the next iteration of the quarterly health check :)

What is team 'health'?

Team health is a qualitative measure based on the team's assessment of 11 focus areas (‘Code Quality’ and ‘Fun’ are two of the areas, for example) that were chosen as health indicators for WMF teams.

This is a tool for teams to get a sense of their pain points, and also a way to get a sense of patterns across engineering teams. The health check survey is not a test, a value judgement, or prescription for a particular way of doing things.

How will we do this?

Each area of the survey will be evaluated on a qualitative scale. The team collectively comes up with one response through conversation about the focus area. Teams have the option to skip areas that they don't feel the need to address, or add other areas that are missing.

The results will be used to help identify patterns and trends on the team itself, as well as across the organizational, with the intention of helping teams identify areas where they might focus on for improvements, as well as helping EMGT identify areas to improve at the organizational level.

The survey will be conducted quarterly so we can track the efficacy of our efforts. We would like to make team health transparent and visible, and will post results for teams to review.

thanks all

I have created a subpage with this template. I have changed "Code Quality" to just "Quality". I also took out some formatting in the first paragraph.

What does "done" look like for this task?

I think the [1] and [2] should be retained, so the footnotes at the bottom make sense. Otherwise, the new page looks good to me. I think dropping the smiley face is fine, now that TPG is big and serious. ;)

Done looks like: You think it's done, and at least one or two other TPGers agree.

added the [1] and [2] back and marking this as done.

lgtm - nice work! Thanks @DStrine
