"Great user experience - low user setup time"

5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

Everything was very easy - most of the cards we use were already set up. I added a "Kudos!" to give everyone the chance to thank others for their contributions, but other than that - it was perfect. We rotate engineer running the retro meetings, so quick setup is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

very little to dislike. I would add the Kudos box, because most groups do try to do that in each sprint retro (or they should!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It was a very nice new experience!"

5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

I love how interactive and collaborative the tool was. It was a very good exercise for our team and we really had a very detailed discussion on the cards that were added by each one of us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

None that I know of right now. I have only used the tool once but I am looking forward to explore it some more as I think it would be really helpful for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GoRetro is amazing for team retrospectives"

5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

The way the tool blends into a retrospective's flow. It comes in to capture the data and quickly gets out of the way. Super intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

A lot of the admin features are not yet available. Reaching out to support to change teams is slightly painful at this point. Support is lovely though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GoRetro:

Go back to that retrospective and action items. That is the most important part of the tool. Not capturing feedback! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Retrospectives are captured properly. People vote on the most important lessons learnt in a sprint. Action points are lovely. Would love email notifications though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Team Engagement"

5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

The ability for the team to each add cards to the retro board and for others to vote. Order by votes brings the top issues quickly into view for discussion. The happiness index is a great additional tool to gauge the team's overall satisfaction level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

The happiness index has only four states, "very unhappy", "unhappy", "happy", and "very happy", it would be far clearer to have a neutral middle state. After talking to several members of different teams, I find that often members are "content" and not sure that they are happy enough to vote happy, so opt for sad, which is miss-leading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GoRetro:

Promotes easy engagement from your team, allowing anonymity for raising difficult issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communication is the biggest issue that GoRetro can help identify regularly. Beyond that, identifying knowledge gaps and silos and time constraints on personal development. We now build in time for learning, in chunks of time, and within pieces of work. The discussion brought about by retros has mostly given empowerment to the team. They are now empowered to speak up, to gain and build knowledge, to take ownership. For an example of our backlog, we used to wait on Product Owners and Managers, now where we can build out the tasks/stories/epics and have increased productivity and positive feedback on features.

"A good retrospective tool"

3.5/5

What do you like best about GoRetro?

Filters and sorting features are very helpful for each person to find their cards.

I also like Action items that can get an assignee and deadline.

There are some competitors with the better product but as long as GoRetro is free then I keep using GoRetro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

The user experience is not good. It looks like the product has been built by some developers without any UX designer!

Sometimes it has bugs and you need to refresh the page to fix it.

Voting is buggy too.

Merging cards are still difficult. The drag and drop is not smooth and many times we merge the wrong cards and then you have to edit the card to unmerge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to write this insightful review!

Originally we built GoRetro for our own retrospective needs as we were searching around for the best, simple and straightforward tool. We wanted to give back to the community so opened it for free use. Since then it’s been boosting signups and we are in the process of redesigning (noticed the green colors are gone in the last week? :)

We also took serious infrastructure measurements to adapt to the scale we are (thankfully) getting!

Thanks for the constructive feedback, I’m confident you already feel some of the changes kicking in. We are also excited to release our Jira integration soon for data driven retrospectives, stay tuned!
