Stop using another tool for online retrospective

Retrospective is one of many ceremonies for your agile team. Scrum ceremonies is one of many team workflows you need to manage as a manager of an agile team. Do not put your team through as many tools as there are processes to automate. Ideally, the number of tools your team needs to learn should be zero.

There are a bunch of tools available to automate retrospective ceremonies online. Even the simplest one requires your team to onboard and learn to use another tool. This is not ideal. Your team is already using a project tracker and team chat tool. For most agile teams, it is Jira and Slack. They should not need to learn more tools.

Bring your scrum ceremonies to Slack

If your team is already collaborating in Slack, then engage your team in a retrospective ceremony directly inside Slack. Make your team participate in meetings without leaving Slack. Avoid another new tool just for a retrospective meeting. Avoid introducing a new login and a new process for your team. Provide the least friction path for your team to engage productively.
