Remote Daily Scrum Effectiveness Survey
Measures whether your team's remote daily scrum actually surfaces blockers and aligns work, or has drifted into a status-reporting ritual. Covers time-boxing, psychological safety, format, and top friction points, with an AI follow-up that reconstructs a real recent example instead of vague impressions. Built for scrum masters, engineering managers, and agile coaches running distributed teams.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
In the last two weeks, how often did you attend your team's daily scrum?
- Every time
- Most days
- About half the time
- Rarely
- Never
How useful is the daily scrum for coordinating your work this sprint?
How much do you agree with each statement about your team's daily scrum?
- The meeting starts within a minute or two of the scheduled time
- Updates focus on blockers and dependencies, not a status recitation
- I leave knowing exactly what I need to do next
- The meeting stays within its time-box (typically 15 minutes)
- I feel comfortable raising a blocker or asking for help in the meeting
How is your daily scrum typically run?
- Live video call
- Live audio-only call
- Text or chat-based async update
- Rotating mix of the above
Rank these from biggest to smallest obstacle to a genuinely useful daily scrum for your team.
- Time zone conflicts
- Video call fatigue
- Status recitation with no real problem-solving
- Meeting runs long or drifts off-topic
- A few voices dominate the conversation
- Low attendance or chronic lateness
- Unclear next steps after the meeting ends
How likely are you to speak up in the daily scrum when you're stuck or behind on something?
Reconstruct a specific, recent daily scrum for this respondent: what was said, whether a real blocker or dependency came up, and what happened after (did anyone follow up, or did it vanish once the call ended). Anchor on their lowest-rated statement or usefulness score and get a concrete example rather than a general opinion. If they said they're unlikely to speak up, probe what stops them — time-box pressure, who's in the room, or the format itself — and whether an async or written update would work better for them.
If you could change one thing about your team's daily scrum, what would it be and why?
Which best describes your role on the team?
- Individual contributor / engineer
- Scrum master / team lead
- Product owner / manager
- Other
- Prefer not to say
How many time zones does your team typically span during the daily scrum?
- Same time zone
- 1-2 zones apart
- 3-5 zones apart
- More than 5 zones apart
- Prefer not to say
Thanks for the candid feedback! We're combining these answers across the team to see where our daily scrum is working and where it needs a reset — no responses are shared individually.
What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs a specific, recent daily scrum (what was said, who was blocked, what got resolved) instead of relying on vague Likert impressions
- Combines structured measurement (time-boxing frequency, a matrix of agreement statements, and a ranking of biggest obstacles) with open-ended diagnosis of what respondents would change and why
- Captures psychological safety directly by asking how likely people are to speak up when stuck or behind, not just whether the meeting 'felt useful'
- Segments results by role and by how many time zones the team spans, so distributed-team friction can be separated from format problems
SurveySparrow
Remote Daily Scrum TemplateThis is a directly comparable, fielding-ready template for the same use case: assessing remote daily scrum meetings. It's built as a static questionnaire on SurveySparrow's conversational-form platform, aimed at a similar scrum/engineering-manager audience. It doesn't appear to offer adaptive follow-up or per-response quality scoring based on the page title and known product design.
What it does well
- Purpose-built specifically for remote daily scrum feedback, matching audience intent closely
- Runs on SurveySparrow's conversational, chat-style survey format
- Likely quick to deploy with pre-set questions for scrum-specific topics
Where it falls short
- Fixed question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to reconstruct a specific recent scrum instance
- No indication of automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated analysis reports
- No published prompt-level methodology or transparency into how responses are interpreted
