  • What caused problems;
  • Improvement actions.

Add items directly, or let the team contribute anonymously.

Poll the team anonymously

  1. Click Poll the team, then Send.
  2. Each team member receives a personal link by email, valid for 60 minutes, which opens a contribution page. Each person can post up to 10 contributions across the three columns.
  3. Contributions appear in the retrospective as they come. Nobody can link them to their author.
  4. Click Complete to stop the poll early: all links still active are invalidated immediately.

Summary and report

  • Analyze with AI groups the positives, problems and actions (AI credits).
  • Send the report emails it as a PDF to the project members, except observers and PMO.
  • The report can also be saved to a MyDoc page; sending it again updates the same page, whose previous state stays in the version history.

Who can open the retrospective

The retrospective requires the "Sprints › Edit" permission: by default, the Scrum Master and the Product Owner, as well as the project owner and admins. The rest of the team contributes through the anonymous poll.
