Release Process Team Survey
An internal pulse on shipping: confidence, toil, rollback trust, and cadence.
4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
How releasing feels predicts how often it happens. This internal survey asks the shipping teams about the release experience – deployment confidence, manual toil, rollback trust, and whether the current cadence matches the codebase's actual risk – the DevOps culture metrics behind the DORA numbers.
Run quarterly; the deploy-on-Friday question is your cultural thermometer, and the toil write-ins are the platform team's backlog, pre-sorted by pain.
