Yes — a rubric is especially useful when your team disagrees on what “good” means.
A rubric helps by:
- making expectations explicit
- reducing subjective arguments
- giving everyone a shared standard
- making feedback and evaluation more consistent
If your team can’t agree yet, that’s actually a sign you need one. You may not need a perfect rubric right away, but even a rough version can help you:
- define the criteria for quality
- describe what poor, okay, and excellent look like
- test it on a few examples
- revise based on where people still disagree
If you want, I can help you build a simple rubric for your specific situation.
