Retrium Reviews

I have been using Retrium for the past one year.

I am Scrum Lead for 4 teams and due to licensing limitations, we have been using Retrium for 2 of my teams belonging to 2 different programs.

Though I had conducted Retrospectives in various other tools, I found Retrium comparatively useful and user friendly for the following reasons.,

1. No Limitation - I can create boards for as many teams as I can if we have license.

Retrium comes with great UI. The various features are really helpfull in kepping the track of the action items.

Have been using it to analyse the sprint activity.

I can not find much drawback for Retrium. But there was a scenario when I was in a team room and wanted to create another. But to do so, had to close the open team room. So, I think this is one thing could be added as a feature or if its available then can be placed better on the screen

Helps in performing the team retro. The anonymous feedback and the tab to keep the record of the Action items are really helpful in discussion.

Super collaborative, keeping feedback anonymous

Integration with jira is not der. Scrum masters need to add action items manually

Great product to accelerate your operation sdlc

Some loop hole discussion which is difficult to bring every one on same page

Has a lot of different ways to run a retrospective. Very intuitive and provides a good level of anonymity allowing people to speak more freely than in a face to face interaction.

Has good methods for recording takeaways and tasks to be completed.

Sometimes login/joining rooms can be confusing. Wish it would integrate with a task tool like JIRA or Asana.

I like how quickly you can get a meeting started with Retrium. When my team needs to start a retrospective, we can invite who needs to be there, select our format, and get started. I also really enjoy the available options to pick from when setting up the style of retro I want to conduct. The ability to customize the columns on the go, and how much time for each section is also a really nice feature.

44 I do wish they allowed you to hand off host privileges when in a meeting. We've had several instances where the host had to leave the meeting early, and we had to continue without the Retrium tools since we couldn't switch the host. 33

The main problem is how to organize a retro, and to do so in the best manner. Retrium let's our team members make comments with out having their name attached to it, so it helps promote, harder to have, conversations. The benefits are a streamed line retro experience.

Retrium is very good, especially because it offers many options, besides it is easy to collect all the comments in one place, and its design is an excellent excellent interface, and it can also be customized, I really love the different retrospectives, everything is more elegant and at the same time fun, I have tried many similar platforms and this is the one that I loved the most.

Actually there is nothing wrong that I don't like I like everything. But the only thing I could comment on in this section is that I would like your interface to be more modern, since it looks like something old, I should think about innovating.

If I recommend it, I could say that the meetings here are very attractive and fun, and they are not boring like other similar platforms, it has a clean and pleasant interface, it is easy to get used to it, it is not necessary to have experience for its use, I recommend it for everyone.

This tool is the best, it even comes with a board that allows me to keep my meetings moving, it has been a great help, especially since it is one of the products I have worked with and has worked 100%, it guarantees that each meeting It will be positive and more productive.

I like how it does not show names under the user's input. People are more willing to add their opinion when they are anonymous.

Nothing so far. We barely started using it for our sprint meetings.

Im not sure how much my company pays for this service but it is very helpful and easy to use.

It comes with a

I like the fact that it is designed to be used remotely and that individuals can post anonymously, allowing freedom to speak even if there isn't full trust on the team. The different formats of retrospectives makes retrospectives more engaging and even fun.

I'd like to see more features in the future, allowing this tool to be utilized by more departments, not just engineering. I see lots of potential in this product. Adding more resources for retrospectives and agile in general would be awesome- a one-stop shop for all things agile/retrospective.

I think this tool has excellent potential to make retrospectives more engaging across many departments, not just engineering.

This tool makes our retrospectives more organized, productive, action-oriented, and engaging. Retrium solves the problem of follow-up by having clear action items for those involved in the retrospective. The different formats allow for more engagement. The anonymity option allows all people to participate, which is especially helpful for introverts.

The four Ls category lends itself well to encouraging team members to come up with a spectrum of responses. The time limit helps ensure team members stay on focus and prioritize what they want to say. The voting system really helps the group collectively decide what is most worthy of further discussion.

While I have used this tool both with and without a dedicated product manager, there are some changes that would make the tool more useful for collaboration. The biggest would be changing the group phase to allow all team members to participate in the grouping. Currently one team member has to take charge and try to find all similar topics. For big / verbose teams this is a tall order, and one that is only made harder by having the rest of the team simply watching. Additionally, it would be great to have empty messages and those with only white space removed automatically during the grouping phase! Not sure why, but every retro I have been in has had at least one empty tile!

There is a free trial period, give it a shot for a retro or two and see how much it helps! Additionally, use votes to mean "I would like to discuss this topic further" not simply "I agree". Then if there are any topics with no votes, quickly check if anyone would like to say anything and if not, continue! You will save a significant amount of time very quickly! Also, encourage your team to delete the blank cards before the grouping phase as they are useless.

This tool is clearly intended to facilitate retrospectives and succeeds thoroughly. The biggest value that I have seen is that it reduces the duration of retro without reducing the quality of the retro.

Offer many different retrospective formats to choose from.

Wish there was some sort of way to date each group and have a 'quick glance' at each retro scheduled and completed in that group

You can add users individually and pay per user so form an MVP group of users to try it out first and see if it meets your needs.
