Why anonymous beats a round of opinions

In a retro, the loudest voice often sets the mood. When everyone votes at the same time and nobody sees who said what, the real problems come out in the first five minutes.

  • Votes are anonymous, so people say what they think
  • Everyone answers at once, nobody waits for a turn
  • Rankings and ratings show where the team agrees
  • Works in the room and on video calls

A simple retro in five questions

Open with a rating for the mood, collect what went well and what did not with open text, then rank the topics to discuss. The free plan allows five questions per presentation, which fits one retro exactly.

Keep a trend over time

Reuse the same rating question every sprint or every week and compare the scores. A small question asked often tells you more than a long survey asked once.
