Invitation is possible via link. The retrospectives follow a process that helps with moderating and focussing only on what is important right now. The action items are linked to the discussion cards and not stand alone. You have many different retrospective formats and can also setup your own. Cards can be easily grouped and ungrouped and moved between the columns. The voting amount can be customized and there is a built in timer. When in the discussion phase card or cluster is highlighted. People can join a retro even if it has started. In the end every team member gets a nice summary via e-mail. > > **Cons**: Sometimes a member gets disconnected from the session and has to refresh. You have to reregister for every single team you should be in. It would be nicer to have a user pool from which you can move people in different teams and retros like in senseitool. Something like a Sprintscore or happyness metric would be nice. While is the voting stage the moderator cannot see who has still votes left. > > Parabol is a great tool for retrospectives. It i solid, fast and fun to use. I would recommend it especially for thos with little retrospective experience who would like to get sustainable results. ----- ### "Parabol - If only I found this platform earlier in my PM career" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 November 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy to pick up and use as we used this tool to introduce a standard across the organization for managing retrospectives for all of our projects. It has now become a standard across the organization for client and internal projects > > **Cons**: The inability to export the tasks from retrospectives into our Jira instance or a way to import them into our Jira instead of using the board in Parabol. > > It's been an easy onboarding process and people to buy-into the product/service as we reviewed it and used it mock retrospectives and on our actual projects. ----- ### "Excellent application for team collaboration, conducting retrospectives and synchronization meetings" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 October 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is impressive, and the intuitive way it guides both you and your team through the flow of any meeting is highly effective and pleasant > > **Cons**: The task board should have more features > > Retrospective meetings and sync meetings ----- ### "Amazing tool" — 5.0/5 > **Melina** | *20 October 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Parabol is a great tool for facilitation and team work. I love that you can have the whole history of a team in one single tool, avoiding unnecessary documentation. You can create action actions in the same meeting, tag people affected and later follow up with that tasks list. I also really like the templates available for retrospectives and that you also can create your own templates, even make a copy of the ones there and adapt it to our needs. The icebreaker question is amazing, it helps to set the mood before going into reflection mode. I've use it quite often. The feature for the estimating tasks is also great and works great with JIRA integration, it even adjusts the Story points in JIRA when you change them in the tool, really helpful\! Again, avoids double and manual work. I highly recommend this tool, it works perfectly with fully remote, mixed set up or even when having a retrospective in person, but as a support tool to document what was discussed. > > **Cons**: Something to improve would be to have more templates, as the options list is quite limited. Maybe as well to be able to remove the facilitator's votes, as you don't always need to vote, depending on the type of session you are. ----- ### "Fund and easy tool for Agile and Scrum activities" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 May 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: My team and I use Parabol for sprint planning poker and retro sessions, and it has become everyone's favorite. It is very easy to get started, adding new members works through a direct link invite so new team members are in withing seconds. The planning poker is well designed, shows who's cast their votes, and the history of the final decisions is saved in the tool. Grooming flow is easy, fun and collaborative, as well as anonimous (even though this last part hasn't been necessary for our team). There are steps you go through: first add cards with topics for discussion, then group them into categories by similar topic, and then vote which category you want to discuss most. The number of votes to be cast is customizable, so you can be flexible for different group sizes and the scale of the project. Retro notes are saved in the tool as well so you can go back and review. > > **Cons**: It looks like the numbering for a type of meeting (Sprint Poker) is messed up a little, I can see two events like that with \#1, but I am not entirely sure this isn't some setting I haven't noticed. Will investigate at some point. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/182731/parabol?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/182731/parabol) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
