Scrum Values Wheel Test

Dear colleagues,

several months ago I accidentally found a test (probably somewhere here in comments or so), which helps to define the level of scrum values understanding and endorsing.

It looks like some kind of life wheel with 5 SVs on the axis. Each member of the team answers the questions, then SM fills the wheel and understands what scrum values are developed the most and what SVs need improvement. 

If you know something like that or, maybe, know the thread, please let me know.

Thank you!

This concept can be applied to any category the team feels is important to measure themselves against.

Going back to your comment about the SM being the one who grades it....I find it much more powerful if the team is willing to create the categories, metrics, and grade themselves against where they want to be as a team. 

Barry Overeem wrote a nice article around how to use this radar chart concept within retrospectives if you'd like to check that out as well.

@Tony Divel

thank you for your response. I thought, that this radar has some kind of test behind, to estimate the degree of SVs (or whatever) understanding. But now I see, that Barry Overeem simply let the team member to estimate the whole concept

Yes, you could also change the categories to reflect the Scrum Values and  facilitate sessions to see how well the team feels they live by these values...perhaps situations where the values are present and where they're not and the type of outcomes they see from each. 

These can be a flexible way to illicit good dialogue and action within the team if they're interested in giving it a go.
