A step-by-step guide for facilitators and participants
RetroBoard is a real-time collaborative tool for running sprint retrospectives. Your team writes cards, votes on the most important topics, discusses them together, and creates action items — all in one place.
Go to the home page and click "Start a Retro". Choose a template and enter your name. You'll get a board link to share.
Click the Share button in the board header to copy the invite link. Send it to your team via Slack, email, or chat.
Use the phase controls to move through: Preparation → Writing → Voting → Discussion → Done. Only you (the board owner) can advance phases.
Set a timer for each phase to keep the retro focused. The timer is visible to everyone.
In the Discussion phase, use AI Summary, group related cards, create action items, and export results as CSV, PDF, or Confluence format.
Click the link shared by your facilitator. Enter your display name to join the board.
During the Writing phase, add your thoughts to each column. Cards are anonymous by default.
During the Voting phase, vote on the cards you think are most important. Vote counts are hidden until Discussion.
In Discussion, the team reviews top-voted items together. Add comments, reactions, and create action items with assignees and due dates.
