The DevOps Enterprise Forum has proposed a set of statements based on Westrum’s data that attempts to measure the health of information flow on a team. Respondents answer using a Likert scale where “strongly disagree” = 1 and “strongly agree” = 7: On my team, information is actively sought. On my team, failures are learning opportunities, and messengers of them are not punished. On my team, responsibilities are shared. On my team, cross-functional collaboration is encouraged and rewarded. On my team, failure causes enquiry. On my team, new ideas are welcomed.
