  • "1. On a scale of 0 to 5, how happy are you with the last sprint?"
  • "2. What happened during this sprint that made you feel that way?"
  • "1. On a scale of 0 to 5, how happy were you the previous week?"
  • "2. What happened the previous week that made you feel that way?"

    "1. On a scale of 0 to 5, how happy are you with this week?"

    "2. What happened this week that made you feel that way?"

    "1. On a scale of 0 to 5, how happy are you since the last survey?"
