Retrospectives

Batteries-included and flexible

Templates

Pick a Template

Select from 15+ robust templates or start from scratch and build your own custom format. Each column is a Theme or a category. Each format frames discussions differently and picking the right one can help engage your team.

Brainstorm

Add Topics

Participants bring their topics for each theme, anonymously. This helps people open up and supports psychological safety.

Prioritize

Place your Votes!

Choose what's most important to you using Dot Voting. Facilitators can change the number of votes and whether a theme's topics can be voted on.

Discuss

Cover the Most Important Topics

Sort the most important topics in each theme, as voted on by your participants. Take notes on each topic using Takeaways to never lose context. Assign Actions to help the team improve and followup in future retrospectives.

Timer

Timebox Discussions

Keep conversations on track and concise with a built-in adjustable Timer.

Personal Kanban

Organize and Merge

Drag-and-drop a topic onto another topic to merge them or onto a theme to move the topic. Keep the discussion orderly and combine redundant topics for a smoother retrospective, or use this as a Kanban board.

Continue/Stop

Quick Votes

Call for a quick vote at any time. Guage interest in continuing or stopping a conversation on a topic or if a followup action is appropriate.

Survey

Poll the Room

Add Surveys to assess perspectives, options, or possibilities. Every participant gets one vote per survey. Use this to check in with your team, discern how the team feels, or select a path forward.

Follow Up

Revisit Action Items

Pull Actions from a previous board to follow up. Get context on the original topic and discussion without leaving the current discussion.

One on Ones

Remember the details

In Sync

Collaborate and Listen

Share notes in real time with your partner, but keep some notes private -- for your eyes only.

History

Keep Track of Previous Conversations

Review your 1-1 history and followup on previous action items and discussions.

9-Boxes

Scale

Adjust to your Criteria

Decide on the facets for your comparison and whether each facet is better or worse as it grows. For example, Performance is usually better when higher, but Cost is worse when higher.

Align

Compare and Contrast

Collaborate with a team or run a solo session to compare and contrast options. Move each option along your scales to find its best fit.
