About this template

Collaboration complaints are vague; the failures are specific — a message that dies in the wrong channel, a meeting that should have been a doc, a handoff nobody owns, an escalation nobody dares. This diagnostic scores five mechanics of working together, and the AI report locates the failure pattern costing the most hours. Fix the plumbing, not the poster.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the five collaboration mechanics?
Information flow, meeting hygiene, cross-team handoffs, tool clarity and escalation paths — scored as observable behaviour, not intent.
Should this be answered per team or per function?
Per team with cross-team pairs; handoff and escalation problems live between groups, and single-team views can't see the seam.
What does the AI report recommend?
The costliest failure pattern (e.g., handoff context loss) plus the specific ritual, channel rule or escalation norm that fixes it.
How often should we re-diagnose?
Per quarter, and after any reorg or tool migration — both commonly break flow before anyone notices.
Is this a replacement for team charters?
No — it audits whether today's working reality matches whatever charters claim.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Click Use This Template to copy the form, scoring and report configuration into your FormLM workspace for free, then customize and share it.
