Project Team Feedback/Survey

I'm looking to use a questionnaire that can be distributed to the members of a project team at completion of the project to get their feedback on the project (ie. was communication with the team adequate, did they feel like they were involved in decision making, etc.) Does anyone have a sample of one that has been used on your projects? I'm looking for specific questions rather than general open ended questions like "what went well on the project".

Here is a list of questions that I used a couple of months ago when I conducted a post mortem for a large project. You may want to call out questions for your survey and use the other questions during your actual post mortem/lessons learned/retrospective. If you have additional questions or need assistance, my personal email address is [email protected]. Good luck!

Humm..It seams like Tom's link is not working for me...

Here is what I use in my post-mortem questionnaire.

Question 1: Are you proud of this project?
If yes, what is the main reason?
If not, what went wrong?

Question 2: List the three points that were the most frustrating and disappointing in the project.

Question 3: List the three most satisfying points for you in this project.

Question 4: If you could change one thing about this project, which would you change?

Question 5: Is there any work you have done that was not under your responsibility? If yes, what is it?

Question 6: Do you think the project team was composed of good people? Is there someone else that you would have included in the team and, if so, for what role?

Question 7: Have all the project members participated efficiently? If not, how could we improve their participation?

Question 8: Do you have any other ideas or comments on the project that you'd like to share?

Hope this is helpful to you....

Dont know what your role is and why you may want to question the members of the project team after its completion unless the feedback is going to be used for staff appraisal of some sort.

The way I know it, the Project Manager works with his and her team in delivering the project - it is teamwork. It should be very evident whether the project was a success, delivered within budget and whether even exceeded stakeholders expectations, fulfilled the business requirements and everyone is happy.
The Project Manager completes the final document 'Lessons Learned' and can include difficulties faced, observations and recommendations. Individual feedback from project team members is not usually done, the person you should be asking is the Project Manager who was responsible for the project resources.

Assessment of the Project Manager's competencies will also be evident during the project and feedback from sponsor and stakeholders.

Well you can use TBRI questionnaire, or create your own using it''s taxonomy It works perfectly not only for risk management but also for project profiling and team feedback.

Great question — gathering structured feedback at project closeout is essential for continuous improvement and team learning.

A proven approach shared by a community member combines Likert-scale evaluation items (1 to 5) with a few targeted open-ended questions.
Here's a structured example organized into three key dimensions:


1. Collaboration and Involvement
I felt involved in decisions that affected my work.
My contributions were acknowledged and valued.
There was psychological safety to raise concerns or suggest alternatives.

2. Communication and Alignment
Information was communicated clearly and in a timely manner.
The frequency and format of project updates were effective.
I understood the project goals and how my work contributed to them.

3. Execution and Learning
The team worked efficiently and met key milestones.
Risks and issues were handled transparently and collaboratively.
I gained knowledge or skills I can apply to future projects.

Each item can be rated from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree), with an optional comment field.

Focused Open Questions
“What is one thing we should repeat in the next project?”
“What is one thing we could improve or change?”

This type of feedback strengthens a culture of continuous improvement, shifting the focus from blame to learning and trust.

If useful, this model can be easily adapted or extended based on the nature of the project or organizational context.
