Is something not quite in your team, but you just can't put your finger on it? Seeing yourself as a doctor, and your team as a patient opens up new conversations you can have, based on team 'vital signs'. Let Atlassian veterans Dominic and Ben show you how and why we created a little thing called the Team Health Monitor, and how you can use it to harness the power and increase the confidence of your own healthy teams.
