Why does your team stop updating the project board?

Score four adoption signals—trust, friction, ownership, and feedback—and fix the weakest one first. No signup required.

The board reflects the real current state of work (1–5)

People know the board is the source of truth for status (1–5)

A normal status update takes seconds, not minutes (1–5)

People rarely have to repeat the same status elsewhere (1–5)

Every active item has one clear accountable owner (1–5)

Stale or blocked work becomes obvious quickly (1–5)

Meetings and decisions actually use the board (1–5)

Completed work creates visible progress or recognition (1–5)

What the four scores mean

Trust

Does the board reflect reality, and does the team treat it as the shared status source?

Friction

How much effort and duplication does a routine update require?

Ownership

Can everyone tell who moves an item next and which work is stuck?

Feedback

Does the board influence decisions and make progress visible after work is completed?

Important: This is a Strikd workflow diagnostic, not a validated scientific or employee-performance instrument. Use it to improve the system, not to score individual workers.

Fix the weakest signal before replacing the whole system.

If the board is too heavy, simplify it. If nobody reads it, change the operating rhythm. If progress is invisible, improve the feedback loop.
