Product Team Health Check Template
Start with alignment. Use this health check to surface early misalignments and unify your team before wasting a sprint.
Why Team Alignment Comes Before Interviews
Discovery doesn’t start with user interviews; it starts with team clarity. David Pereira’s Product Team Health Check is a fast way to uncover disconnects in your goals, priorities, and collaboration setup. Run it as a retro or async survey to spot confusion early. When discovery starts with alignment, delivery moves faster.
How to Make the Most of the Product Team Health Check
The Product Team Health Check Template surfaces misalignment early — before it kills your discovery effort. It’s designed to spark honest internal conversations around what you’re trying to learn, how you’ll define success, and whether delivery and discovery are working together or pulling in different directions.
By using this check-in regularly, you prevent drift and keep your team grounded in shared goals and strategic intent — instead of reacting to chaos.
Exclusive advice from David for product teams:
1. Start before interviews
Use this template to align on goals, success metrics, and themes before you talk to users. If your team’s not clear, your discovery won’t be either.
2. Run it async or in retro
Keep it low-friction. A short survey or async Miro board is enough to reveal major misalignments quickly.
3. Turn misalignment into momentum
Don’t stop at collecting answers — share takeaways in sprint planning or rituals to build shared ownership fast.
