When to Use

To facilitate a deep-dive retrospective on team dynamics and interpersonal relationships.

How It Works

Solves: Vague feelings of 'team issues' without a clear way to diagnose or discuss them.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps to facilitate this method
  1. 1

    Step 1: Introduce the 9 dimensions (e.g., Trust, Goals, Roles, Leadership, etc.) (10 mins).

  2. 2

    Step 2: Individuals privately rate the team on a scale of 1-10 for each dimension (10 mins).

  3. 3

    Step 3: Plot the individual scores on a shared radar chart to see the spread (10 mins).

  4. 4

    Step 4: Facilitate a discussion on the dimensions with the lowest scores or the widest spread (30-60 mins).

Facilitator Tips
  • The 'spread' (difference between high and low scores) is often more interesting than the average score.
  • Ensure a safe environment where people feel they can be honest with their ratings.
Variations
  • Can be adapted to '6 Dimensions' for a shorter, more focused session.
