What it is

RetroTool is a web tool for running retrospectives with remote or hybrid teams. Teams can start with Mad | Sad | Glad, Liked | Learned | Lacked, or Start | Stop | Continue templates. Participants can draft cards in private sections and move them into a public section. Voting includes dot and secret voting, with controls for the number of votes allowed per participant, column, and card. Teams can turn discussion into action points, assign a responsible teammate, and set a due date. A timer is among the facilitation tools. Paid plans add facilitator-only moderation, readiness checks, read-only locking, and private, invite-only retrospectives; the Company plan adds zero-knowledge encryption with custom passwords. The Anonymous plan costs nothing and keeps data for up to 12 months. Individual costs $10 a month per team, and Company costs $20 a month per team. RetroTool offers a 90-day trial. The maker says u2i first created the tool for its own remote retrospectives before offering it to others.
