RetroTeam is winding down. Here's where your retros go next
RetroTeam has said it is stepping away from retrospectives. Moving your team takes a link.
Why choose TeamRetro over RetroTeam?
Intuitive and easy to use
Get ready to go templates, guided steps and user first design that lets you facilitate with ease.
Focus on actions
Run smarter meetings that stay on track, stay efficient, and finish with a clear set of actions.
Data driven insights
Boost team performance and support ongoing improvement with meaningful insights.
RetroTeam is winding down. Its homepage carries a farewell notice saying the team has decided to focus on interviewing instead. It points visitors to the team’s new interview-coaching product, ChannelPulse. The app, pricing page and docs are still online, but no shutdown date or migration path has been published.
That is a hard position to plan around. You can keep running retros for now, but the actions, agreements and history your team builds are sitting in a product whose owner has said they are moving on. Most teams in this spot would rather choose where they land than have the date chosen for them.
Moving across is light, because there is nothing to export first. Start your next retro from one of 275+ templates, invite the team by link, and carry your open actions over so the last few sprints don’t get dropped. Pricing is per team with unlimited members, and TeamRetro is SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant for when IT asks.
TeamRetro is not for every team. There is no free-forever plan, so if the budget has to stay at zero a free board will cover the occasional session, and if nobody will ever ask you for SOC 2 Type 2 or SSO that assurance is cost you do not need. What it does offer is somewhere retros can keep running for years, with health checks and trend lines that show whether things are actually improving.

What TeamRetro users say
The interface is clean and super intuitive and the flow was easy to navigate. I love the different options for retro types and the sticky note and dot voting experience was great. And finally, the ability to create actions was a fantastic finish. Your team should be SO PROUD.
In software development and consultancy, human factors can be the difference between ‘okay’ and ‘awesome.’ That’s why we hold weekly check-ins, and TeamRetro lets team members share their thoughts before meetings.
TeamRetro is a product where every detail is considered – simple usage, and good design. different flows for different needs, highly customizable, real-time features. It allows you to enter a retrospective or health check meeting comfortably and be ready for the meeting as a team leader.
It is intuitive, easy to use, and helps the team tremendously to perform a constructive retrospective. Also, the health check fully meets our requirements.
I love TeamRetro because it allows my team and me to focus on our topics without worrying about security or the tools we use, thanks to its amazing UI/UX. I started using it for retrospectives and health checks at my previous company, and now I also use it for planning poker.
TeamRetro’s Team Health Check feature allowed us to run quick surveys, providing a pulse on how our teams felt about aspects like communication and workload.
Probably one of the best applications we’ve used to conduct a retrospective. Seeing everyone interact with the board and share their opinions was awesome! The integrations with our Jira board is great. Allows us to track our goals and ensure they’re owned. Thank You, thumbs up from me👍
TeamRetro helped our teams effectively manage retrospective meetings, even in a remote setup, saving time and increasing productivity.
With the step-by-step framework TeamRetro provides, it enables small teams to hold regular retrospectives with alternating team members in the facilitating role.
Excellent, it’s exactly what we expected and even more, we liked very much the idea of incorporating in the report not only the current retro actions but also the pending ones from earlier retros.
