ProstoRetro

Retrospectives are the meeting where a team looks back at a sprint or a stage of work and decides what to change, but running them well takes logistics: a board, a timer, a way to vote, and someone to keep the phases moving. ProstoRetro walks a team through that sequence in one shared online room. The facilitator creates a room, picks a template such as Start/Stop/Continue, What went well, Mad/Sad/Glad, 4L or Sailboat, and shares a link. Participants do not need an account, and the vendor states there is no limit on the number of participants.

Anonymity is a core design choice. Cards can be written anonymously, so no author name is shown next to an idea, and voting can be anonymous too. That is meant to help quieter team members and new joiners contribute without the pressure of disagreeing with senior colleagues out loud. Built-in timers keep each phase on schedule, the facilitator can see who is already done, and phases switch on everyone's screen at once.

The AI assistant reads the collected cards, merges similar ones into themes and suggests wording for the action plan, while explicitly leaving decisions to the team. Around the retro itself the tool adds warm-up questions with a randomly chosen participant, mood surveys with history, a review of the previous retro's action items, quick polls, reactions and memes, timer music and results emailed to every participant. ProstoRetro positions itself as free for a retro every sprint, in contrast to tools such as EasyRetro, Parabol, Retrium and TeamRetro whose free tiers are more limited.
