- With other retrospective tools, I didn't have unlimited boards

- I had to write another document to summarize the retrospective and the action items to take for each retrospective of my team

Benefits :

- GoRetro accelerates my work, especially with action items. It is easier to follow their progression. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool that has come in handy on many projects. Don't know what I would do without it"

5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

GoRetro is the best retrospective tool I have ever seen. It has everything we've ever wanted. It includes the ability to create unlimited retro boards, plenty of pre-built fully customizable templates, SOC-2 compliant, invite unlimited team members, comment, vote, drag/drop/merge, create action items, follow up trends in the analytics panel, export, and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

There is nothing that stands out when it comes to disliking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GoRetro:

Attempt it! The team is pushing the envelope and putting the customer first (their SLA is out of this world).

They also have all kinds of fun/mini tools that help us during meetings (ice breaker questions generator, for instance).

Finally, the content on their website is incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoRetro solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main benefit is the boost in participation. GoRetro accomplishes this by allowing users to seamlessly collaborate without hassle. Moreover, I appreciate the different templates, ease of customization and ability to tailor the board to our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mindblowing"

5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

We were looking for something to optimize our work, and my colleague suggested trying GoRetro. In the beginning I had my doubts since we were in "Storming" part of our teamwork, and our previous Retros were "intense". As a team, we decided to give it a go, and BAM. Everything clicked.

It's:

-easy to use

-functional

-instant use level - no learning curve

After that first Retro I ask my colleague - How much?

And he said free.

BAM x2

10/10, would recommend.

I think that we will implement it company wide (if it will go through security check at least) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

1. We have a security policy - either integration with AD or 2fa at least - It won't be used for any high level stuff

2. Some UI/UX tweaks would be nice, like info about merging card, number of votes available at the begging, info about multiple votes per one card per one peron, etc.

3. It would be nice to have some functionality and report like - list of tasks to address topics from retro (after voting) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Practical tool to support our retrospectives"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

We like the option to hide the ticket content till the retrospective starts to avoid bias on sharing feedback. Once tickets are visible we use the voting mechanism to identify the top tickets we should consider. To get insights in the team spirit we use the hapiness index to follow up on a longer period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

It's not a deal breaker, but the width of the columns is not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to manage your retrospective meetings."

4.5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

GoRetro helps me and my teams to keep track of retro commitments.

It is also very useful to open a board in the begging of the sprint, so whenever someone from the team wants to share something can easily go and add an item on the board. This way is hard to forget something that the retrospective comes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

It is very good, I don't think there is something I dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product with room for improvement"

3.5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

- I like the consolidation of cards feature which helps in facilitation while on the go.

- Templates provided helps make life easier for facilitator

- I also like the summary which is provided if one needs to share in other forms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

- Timer has no sound when time is over - kinda deters the whole concept of timer if I have to keep checking whether or not its time and inform the team.

- Overall design is too simple and basic - for eg. there is no Actions column which can have some reference card.

- Once grouped together - cards cannot be ungrouped (sometimes the UI is buggy and doesn't let me place the card correctly with others and I can't undo my action

- No possiblity to get feedback from team after a retro session is complete Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Khushboo! Thank you for your positive review 😊

Regarding the point you made about not being able to ungroup your cards after grouping them, we have revamped this feature and you can now unmerge your cards!

Great feedback about having an Actions columns! We recently upgraded the entire feature and added an action items drawer so that you can easily create and follow up on all of your action items in your retro board. Check out the attached doc to learn more 👇

Lots of new features and improvements are being shipped soon, keep posted!

"Really useful tool for retros"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

Usually people don't like retros because they basically... don't know what to say.

GoRetro helps people to think in a right direction and then helps to make conclusions for further work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

Can't really say what I would call a negative or disadvantage thing...

It covers our basic needs in terms of retrospectives. And this basic functionality is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoRetro solving and how is that benefiting you?

GoRetro is a prepared place. As I said, people usually not ready for retros and consider those as another one useless meeting. Even if they have something to say in terms of work, they don't prepare it.

GoRetro implies answering the prepared questions. And there are a lot of templates - you don't need to think, just choose a most suitable one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool for async retros"

5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

Ability to create multiple boards, projects and invite users with a link. Action items can be separated with just one click. Votes make it easy to handle duplicate responses and increase weightage on items. It has basic analytics that tells me about the retro progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

UI can be better - The app does the job perfectly, but it's in a very early stage and has a lot to evolve. The analytics part can be a bit more comprehensive. Also, JIRA connect was missing, but I think that is in their roadmap. Also, one has to manually delete the invite link to a particular board once everyone joins and it does not expire on its own.

The tool should also send reminder emails to the ones that are still pending to submit their insights. Slack integration would also do wonders for this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GoRetro:

The tool is simple and does the job it's supposed to do, It's evolving fast and solving the problem statement of async retros. Not sure about their pricing yet - but it will be a deciding factor for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoRetro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting retrospectives done in a remote setup was pretty challenging - go retro helped us solve this. I can just create a retro and invite everyone to do it and track the progress in real-time. Prioritizing and assigning action items were also a breeze.
