Best Retrospective Tool I've Used!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Love it!

Pros:

I love that the interface is modern and allows for customization. The beautiful background options are always a hit with the team. It's also helpful to be able to customize the columns, but I like that there are various templates we can choose from as well. All of these things combined make for an experience that is fresh, fun, and new each time we use the tool in our Team Retros.

Cons:

It would be helpful if it didn't allow you to vote on the "how do you feel column" as it's not relevant to us in conducting our retro. I'd rather the team only vote on things that went well and things that need improvement. I also wish we didn't need to worry about licensing.

Simple, fun and effective retros

5.0 last year

Comments: I've enjoyed using TeleRetro for its engaging formats and themes, insightful pulse surveys, and fun icebreaker ideas. The aesthetics are appealing and the overall experience is simple, allowing for both enjoyable and productive retrospectives.

Pros:

The are a lot of formats and themes. I loved the summary donwload. And the aesthetics are appealing and the overall experience is simple, allowing for both enjoyable and productive retrospectives.

Cons:

I think the app is really great, the next step could have some AI features to support some typical activities of a retro. For instance, in a brainstorming: while we are doing the activity, some questions or topics could come up on the screen to show some guidance.

Hi Pedro, thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to know our features are useful to your team. Great suggestion about incorporating AI features into typical retro processes. We offer AI today to generate icebreakers and retro formats, but we're always on the look out for new use cases, so your suggestion is very much appreciated and is something we shall definitely explore, thank you!

Comments: used for retro's and very positive.

Pros:

simplicity. simple to use, simple ui, not too many features. More features is not always better.

Cons:

hard to copy&paste out of the software. I want to be able to send the retro summary as an email. I want to adjust the volume of the icebreaker.

Hi Jay, Thank you very much for your kind review and great suggestions! We just added volume control to Youtube and Vimeo players some media players like Spotify have a limitation on this but we will constantly work on improving this! Great idea about sharing the retro summary, we will add this in an upcoming release! Kind regards, TeleRetro team Update on 15/09/21: You can now also send the retro as an email  it's available from the retro via Summary > Send this Retro.

Retrospectives for the win

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: With TeleRetro we keep our team updated on each other and give a clear overview of a sprint’s performance.

Pros:

We mostly use the retrospectives feature of TeleRetro to wrap-up our sprints and it gives an open space for everyone on the team. The board reminds one of TrellaBoards but make it even more intuitive. The workflow is also pretty straightforward and allowing people to vote messages up to then be able to discuss them makes the whole deal for us.

Cons:

Some components in the retrospectives are clumsy. For example, when you drag cards together they merge, but unmerging is impossible without a bit of work. Also the limitation on the number of emojis one can select, while seemingly a less important aspect, it still sometimes is missing to convey the right message.

Hi Riccardo, Thank you very much for your review, it's much appreciated. Great feedback, we will absolutely consider the points you raise. Getting the user experience right is fundamental to our goal of creating better discussions. If you'd like to discuss these or anything else, please reach out to [email protected] anytime, and we'd be happy to help. Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Kind regards, TeleRetro team Update on 14/02/2022: Hi Riccardo, thanks again for your feedback! Just to let you know that we added a new 'Ungroup' function to easily unmerge cards. We also added an Emoji picker to let users select any emoji to their cards and allowing arbitrary emojis as reactions to cards is coming too.

Love it

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: We went from using Google spreadsheet to keep track of our real estate transactions and tasks which were very cumbersome to this and it has made all the difference in the world. I love that my team leader can go in and add things to my to do list and I automatically get a notification on my phone instead of having to dig through spreadsheets. I love customizing the cards and being able to add due dates and colors

Pros:

I love being able to coordinate with my team so easily.

Cons:

I do wish there was some options to add to the boards other than cards and lists

The Ultimate restrospection tool

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: It is overall a very good experience and this product satisfies all the requirements for managing retrspectives

Pros:

This software aligns to Agile principles to the core and helps my team reflect the thoughts easily. The best part is that the team members can just access it anonymously which is sometimes helpful in sharing their thoughts without any inhibitions. The tool is simple, clean and does not require huge procedure to start with. It also comes with cool features like background theme, icebreaker music, voting, timers , gifs etc. The actions can be easily added and retained across sprints for the team to review .

Cons:

It would be beneficial it come be integrated with other softwares. Right now, the tool provided some options , but they are not straight forward

Hi Rob, Thank you very much for your feedback, we're very pleased to hear that you enjoy using those TeleRetro features. Regarding signed-in vs guest users, at the moment we do require facilitators to be signed in, and allow guests as participants. We offer private retros on our Business plan too which requires all members to be signed in. We would be very interested to chat with you about improving the experience though.
