Team Practices Group/Health check survey/Guidance for facilitators

Advance Preparation

 * 1) Schedule a meeting with the team: ask team lead for list of attendees and ask Admins to schedule the meeting at a time that works for all timezones.
 * 2) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Team_Practices_Group/Health_check_survey/Health_Check_Survey_Invitation_Template
 * 3) If this team has not done a THC before, create a new spreadsheet for the survey and be sure to share it with the TPG group and the team participating in the survey.
 * 4) From the latest sheet/tab of the master survey spreadsheet, click on the down arrow next to the sheet name, choose "Copy to...", and choose the destination team spreadsheet. This will create a new tab in the team spreadsheet, which might need to be renamed.
 * 5) Create new etherpad for this instance, and add the link to the meeting invite. Optionally pre-populate the etherpad with the date, a link to the current THC, and a list of the focus areas as headings to be filled in.

Two days before the meeting

 * 1) Send both the etherpad link and the current THC to the participants ahead of time (a day or two before). The calendar feature "email guests" works great for this. Here is a sample, which you can customize as needed (and be sure to replace the placeholders!):

Last-minute Preparation

 * 1) On your laptop, open a window with the team's spreadsheet, the etherpad, the current THC, Notes on facilitating, and the overall results doc.

During the Meeting

 * 1) Read the opening remarks from the Notes on facilitating. (Should this be combined with the preamble from Health Check Survey Results?) (What is the clear privacy policy? Notes may be shared with mgmt, or even public? in anonymized form? Summarized ratings will become public.) (Need to include definition of team health)
 * 2) Facilitate the discussion.
 * 3) If at all possible, save 5-10 minutes at the end for a quick retrospective about the experience, the survey, and the process overall.

Post-meeting

 * 1) Enter the links for the etherpad and the team spreadsheet in the overall results.
 * 2) If teams have suggestions for areas for improvement or areas that are unclear to them, make a note in the  overall results doc.
 * 3) (Proposed): Follow up with the team lead to see if they have any concerns or feedback that they didn't want to share in front of the whole group.
