Five clear choices
Participants choose from drained, low, steady, good or flying without writing a public explanation.
ONE HONEST CLICK
Check team energy in under a minute
A pulse check creates a small, low-pressure opening for honest conversation. Each teammate chooses the energy level that feels true, while the shared result gives the facilitator a signal—not a diagnosis—to guide the session.

FACILITATOR PLAYBOOK
How to run it well
Keep the mechanics simple so the team can focus on the conversation.
- Frame the question
Ask people to answer for right now rather than judging the entire sprint.
- Collect quietly
Give everyone a few seconds to respond without explaining or defending their choice.
- Invite context
If energy is low, ask what support or adjustment would help; never demand personal disclosure.
SCRUM MASTER TIPS
Small choices that make the activity better
- Treat the score as a conversation starter, not a performance metric.
- Track patterns only with team consent.
- Respond with support when the signal changes.
