We'll work on reducing the questionnaire. Unfortunately, if you want to be able to reliable measure something, you need to use existing scales of items. Those often require multiple items that measure the same concept from slightly different angles. So while there may seem to be repetition, there isn't actual repetition. Instead, the variations of questions are designed to counter different interpretations of terms in people's heads.

You can read much more about why this is necessary here: https://medium.com/the-liberators/how-not-to-construct-a-proper-questionnaire-d9e17fa771bf

Fortunately, teams can do the full questionnaire once - at the start - and then use the "quick checkup" to measure a selection of the variables periodically. That quick checkup is much shorter.
