make the retro be a fun meeting with teams online
- the screens are cool, participants like it - easy to shape own questions
CONS- adding some music for waiting time was not that handy - timer could be more fun
Reasons for switching to TeleRetro
price and reliability was important for us. Also that it is scalable...
Vendor Response
Hi Thio, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! I think your suggestion is spot on about the music & timer. We'll look to see how we can improve the experience, thank you! TeleRetro Team

Best Retrospective Tool I've Used!
Love it!
PROSI 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.
CONSIt 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.
Reasons for switching to TeleRetro
I like the interface better. It seems more modern and there is more customization available.
Vendor Response
Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that you had such a great experience using TeleRetro. Also thank you for the feedback on voting, we will look into adding further voting options to make it more flexible. Again, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Kind regards, TeleRetro team

Retrospectives for the win
With TeleRetro we keep our team updated on each other and give a clear overview of a sprint’s performance.
PROSWe 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.
CONSSome 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.
Vendor Response
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 hello@teleretro.com 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
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
PROSI love being able to coordinate with my team so easily.
CONSI do wish there was some options to add to the boards other than cards and lists

Simple, fun and effective retros
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSI 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.

The Ultimate restrospection tool
It is overall a very good experience and this product satisfies all the requirements for managing retrspectives
PROSThis 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 .
CONSIt would be beneficial it come be integrated with other softwares. Right now, the tool provided some options , but they are not straight forward
