Lean Coffee™ for remote teams
Everyone brings the topics. The room votes on what actually matters. You discuss until the timer runs out then decide together whether it deserves more. No agenda to write the night before, and nothing forgotten by next time.
No credit card. Your team joins with a link, no sign-up needed.
Topics go up on a shared board, in columns you choose. The quiet people get a say before the strong voices start.
A few votes each, spent across the whole board. What rises to the top is what the team wants to spend the time on, not what an authority decides.
One topic, one time box. When it ends, thumbs decide: keep going, or move on. Anything you agree to do gets followed up by the next retro.
Run focused and fun remote meetings and retrospectives based on the flexible Lean Coffee™ format.
Source ideas and points of discussion from the group. Decide on the most important topics. Discuss them from most important to least. Spend your time on what's important now.
Allow participants to bring their own topics and bubble up important information.
Promote deep and engaging discussions by focusing on what's most important. Participants vote on the topics most important to them, so the best thing to discuss is always clear.
Pick from 11+ retrospective templates, tweak on the fly, or start from scratch and create your own.
Run engaging and focused meetings smoothly with your team remotely or in-person
Make it easy to participate by using phases to brainstorm on data and ideas, to prioritize topics with voting, and to focus the group around profound discussions.
Keep the meeting flowing with a built-in stress-free timer. Call for quick decisions -- like to continue discussing topic or move on. Highlight topics under active discussion. Run Surveys during retrospectives and discussions.
Jot down notes on topics with Takeaways. Create followups with Actions and track them into the next retrospective.
Combine topics or move topics between themes with drag and drop.
Turn your discussions into actions and help your team grow week after week
Easily group and navigate repeating meetings. Never forget what happened last time. Never update another calendar invite with a new board.
Share a link to the Latest board in a Series. Make it easy to be in the right place at the right time.
Bring previous Actions forward to recap and followup in future retrospectives. Don't let what's important slip through the cracks - check off Actions as team members complete them.
Set the cadence once and every board after that makes itself
Far enough out that topics go up while the week is still fresh, rather than getting dredged up once everyone is already on the call.
Every action still open is already on the new board, so the retro opens on what was agreed and has not happened yet.
Connect the workspace once and the link lands where the team is already reading. Email, Slack or both, chosen per series.
Don't let your relationships grow cold with in-sync one on ones and 9-box diagrams.
Hold collaborative 1:1s with team members with live, collaborative notes and private notes
Share notes together in real-time. Be on the same page.
Keep private notes separately. Never forget the details.
Collaboratively and visually build comparisons to make informed decisions
Make a 9-box that makes sense. Box colors dynamically adjust
Invite your team to contribute with real-time drag and drop
Add context and capture key talking points directly in each point to keep your conversations focused and productive.
Share the board the moment you make it, and topics arrive while thoughts are still fresh. The retro then opens with what the iteration actually threw at people, rather than whatever gets remembered in the first five minutes.
