Team Audit
A structured evaluation of how a defined team functions in reality — measuring coordination, accountability, leadership flow, and execution reliability beyond individual performance.
Why Organizations Conduct Team Audits
Teams often appear functional on the surface while silently underperforming beneath it.
Ownership gaps, leadership ambiguity, and dependency failures rarely surface in individual reviews.
The Team Audit exists to expose these hidden execution risks before they turn into delivery failures or attrition.
This Audit Helps Answer
- Does the team operate as a cohesive unit or as isolated contributors?
- Are responsibilities clearly owned and consistently executed?
- Is leadership present, effective, and respected?
- Do role mismatches exist within the team structure?
- Can the team scale with increasing complexity and expectations?
Who This Is Typically For
- Delivery-critical teams
- Teams showing inconsistent output
- Newly formed or recently restructured teams
- Teams under leadership transition
- High-cost teams with unclear performance impact
- Cross-functional teams with shared accountability
