Start your retrospective with an Icebreaker

A productive retrospective should not be a boring one. With 200+ questions included, our Question Game opens your retrospective with a delightful touch. This is the ideal activity to create a positive atmosphere and build trust in the team.

Follow up on your action plan

Setting your action items in motion is the best way to keep your team engaged. Neatro will remind you of actions requiring follow-up at the start of each retrospective.

STEP 1 OUT OF 4

Write your comments

Participants separately post their ideas on the retrospective board - without influencing each other.

Avoid groupthink

Participants cannot see what other people write during this first step. That way, people genuinely open up.

Reinforce psychological safety levels

Neatro offers the possibility to write a comment under your own name, or anonymously.

Stay in control of time

A timer is available on each step of the retrospective to help you manage time.

STEP 2 OUT OF 4

Regroup all ideas

Group similar comments together to keep your board lean. Then attach topics to uncover key trends.

Categorize your comments

Use Neatro's 10 ready-to-use topics or create the ones that perfectly match your team's reality.

Everyone contributes

Each participant can help regroup comments and attach topics. No wonder your retrospective facilitator will enjoy that!

Facilitate discussions

Easily highlight comments from a particular author. Doing so will help them introduce their ideas to the team.

STEP 3 OUT OF 4

Vote!

Through a voting session, prioritize the discussion topics that matter most to the team.

Vote in an authentic way

Each participant votes without ever being influenced by the other participants.

Adjust the number of votes

You can change the number of votes per participant to meet your expectations perfectly.

Watch your team's progress

Neatro helps you follow the evolution of votes in real-time while keeping voters anonymous.

STEP 4 OUT OF 4

Build your action plan

Discuss the most voted comments with your team. Then create your action items to help the team improve.

Effective team actions

Neatro assists you in creating SMART action items. Soon you will understand how powerful an action plan can be.

Maximize focus

Assign a member to give the team a single person responsible for communicating the progress of an action item.

Export your action items

Save time by exporting your action items to Jira Cloud, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Monday.com, and more.

Assess your Return on Time Invested (ROTI)

Through a short ROTI questionnaire, participants anonymously evaluate the effectiveness of the retrospective that has just ended. It is also an opportunity to share suggestions to increase the efficiency of future retrospectives.
