Work · 1 of 110

What is one thing that went well this week that nobody has mentioned?

Tip: the right and left arrow keys move between questions. Copy 10 pastes a numbered list from the current filter into your agenda or chat.

How to run a question of the day

  1. Post the question in the team channel before the day starts. Copy for the channel does it in one click.
  2. Answer it yourself first, in one or two sentences. People follow the example they see.
  3. Let answers land in a thread through the day. No deadline, no obligation.
  4. Read two or three out at the stand-up or the end of the day.
  5. Keep the thread. After a month it is the best record of who the team is.

The daily question is deterministic: the date picks it, so a distributed team in three time zones sees the same one. If today's does not fit the mood, the random generator has the rest.

When a question is not enough

A daily question keeps a team talking. The animal quiz gives it something to talk about: everyone takes it in five minutes, the free team page shows the results on one map, and the question of the day for the next week writes itself. For a meeting opener instead of a channel post, use the icebreaker question generator or the check-in question generator.

Quick answers

How does the question of the day work?
The question at the top changes every day at midnight UTC and is the same for everyone who opens the page that day, so a team can post it in the morning channel and compare answers. Below it, the random generator gives you any question from the bank whenever you want one.
Are the questions safe for work?
Yes. All 110 avoid bodies, money, health, religion, politics and relationships. The Deeper set asks about values and lessons, but every question can be answered in a sentence or passed.
How do teams use a question of the day?
Post it in the team channel first thing, let people answer in a thread, and read two or three out at the stand-up. It takes a minute, everyone has spoken once, and over a month the thread becomes the best record of who the team actually is.
Can I get a week of questions at once?
Yes. Set a filter and use Copy 10 in the random generator to paste a numbered list for the week ahead. The full bank is also printed by category on this page.
What is the difference between this and the icebreaker generator?
The icebreaker generator is for the start of a meeting and is sorted by meeting type. The question of the day is for the channel: one shared question, answered in writing, no meeting needed.
