Survey Project Teams for Feedback: Video Blog
This is my first video blog, it is a screen capture where I expand on a post I made earlier about using a monthly team barometer to gauge how things are going on your project, and get honest feedback. I show you exactly how to sign up for an account at polldaddy.com and I set up a sample post with 3 targeted questions for your project team. Let me know what you think about this format of post!

Josh,
Awesome post. I really like the walk through in the video. I think that online polls like this would be very helpful to gather lessons learned throughout the project, as opposed to the tried and true round-table discussion during project close out.
I’ve added that take to your post here.

Thanks for the comment John! I used Cam Studio, which is an open source software. You can find it on sourceforge.net, here’s a direct link. I use sourceforge for all kinds of great applications.
On the security question, if your organization has a problem with security, there are some alternatives. You could do something as simple as set up a WordPress blog on an internal server, and add a polling or survey widget to it. If you have some developers available for a few hours, they could probably set up something rather quickly.
There are probably many other options, I think some of the online polling site offer SSL and other security measures as well as tighter control around the back-end data.

I like the video post. What software did you use to create it?
I am going to play with poll daddy. Hopefully it has a feature to make the poll private, otherwise, it will cause heart burn in my hyper security company.
