A Project Manager wants to track not just the rate of progress against tasks, but also the overall morale and happiness of the Scrum team. What device will help track morale and happiness?

Question

Options

• AA Gross Happiness index
• BA Niko-niko calendar
• CAn employee satisfaction survey

• A
  3% (2)
• B
  93% (56)
• C
  3% (2)

Explanation

A Niko-niko calendar (B) is a simple Agile/Scrum tool where team members record their daily mood using smiley faces (happy, neutral, sad) on a shared calendar, making team morale visible over time and allowing patterns to emerge at a glance.

A (Gross Happiness Index) is a real-world economic concept borrowed from Bhutan's national wellbeing measure - it's not a recognized Scrum or Agile artifact used in team settings.

C (Employee satisfaction survey) is a legitimate HR tool, but it's periodic, formal, and not specific to Scrum - it doesn't provide the continuous, lightweight daily visibility that a Niko-niko calendar does.

Memory tip: "Niko-niko" means "smile" in Japanese - picture your Scrum team drawing smiley faces on a calendar every day, and you'll never forget what it tracks.
