I have an upcoming team meeting whereby we are going to ask the team on how they think we (as in the department) are doing? This can cover anything really from the way deliver code, interact or even just the wider context such as the office space we occupy.

I don’t want the session to be a free for all moan, so what techniques have other developers employed to elicit feedback?

In the past I’ve done a big piece of paper with sections:

What we do well
What we can improve
What we are poor at

We then asked people to write post it’s and attach them to the paper. These were gathered into broad themes and we then voted on as to which people felt most strongly about.

Just looking for suggestion of how I could make the session more successful. Thanks.

    You could print the official responsibilities of your department so you can easily get rid of off-topic or abusive requests.
    I also feel that there is a risk in these types of meetings that people get more emotional than factual so enforce that people bring facts to the table when they want to make a point.
