The Spotify Squad Health Check is a model originally developed at Spotify to help engineering teams assess themselves across multiple dimensions of health - from technical practices to team morale. Each member votes Green, Yellow, or Red per dimension, votes are hidden until revealed, and the team discusses the results together.
The real value comes from doing it regularly. A single session is useful; comparing three sessions in a row reveals whether things are improving, stagnating, or quietly getting worse. That trend data is what makes health checks worth repeating.
Problems that go unspoken compound over time. A health check surfaces them before they become crises - when they are still fixable.
A single snapshot is interesting. Three quarters in a row tells a story. Track progress on specific dimensions and see whether changes you made are actually working.
Votes are anonymous and hidden until the host reveals them. Team members can rate honestly without fear of being singled out.
10 dimensions spanning delivery, process, morale, and collaboration. No important angle gets skipped because someone forgot to ask.
Run it often enough to track trends but not so often it feels like surveillance. A quarter gives the team enough time to actually act on previous findings and see whether things improved before measuring again.
New team members, a reorg, or a change in tech stack all shift team dynamics. A health check after any major change gives the team a baseline to work from.
Knowing where the team stands before a high-pressure period lets leadership address problems proactively instead of reactively.
Sometimes things feel wrong but no one can articulate what. A health check gives the team a structured way to surface that unease and point at specific dimensions.
