Create a poll or survey

I need a quick pulse from the product team on feature readiness. Create a four-question poll in the project channel that asks: 1) Is the feature code complete? (Yes/No), 2) Are QA tests passing? (Yes/No), 3) Any blocker today? (Open text), 4) Confidence in release date (1–5). Keep results anonymous, allow one response per person, and leave the poll open until Friday 5pm so I can collect answers before the release sync.

Before I post this poll to the whole product channel, make it easy for people to answer and for me to act on results. Put the most actionable metric first (QA passing), convert the confidence question to a numeric scale, limit open text to blockers only, and add a short note explaining how I’ll use answers at Friday’s sync. Highlight any wording that could cause people to dodge a frank stop-work answer.

I posted a readiness poll to the product channel and half the replies are noncommittal. The release lead, Priya, will depend on clear blockers at Friday’s sync. I’m unsure whether to repost a sharper poll now (risking friction) or call people individually and eat my time. What’s the likely cause of the vague replies and what’s the fastest reliable next step to get usable answers before Friday 5pm?

Every release week I run polls that produce vague answers, then I end up chasing people individually and missing prep time. I want one habit change that stops noisy, fluffy responses and returns clear blocker data by Thursday noon. What phrasing, channel rules, or small process should I adopt so responses are short, honest, and actionable without doubling my coordination work?
