RemoteRetro makes running agile retrospectis easier and more effective, even when your colleagues are in different locations.

Founders Mark and Keith worked together at The Conversation, which has had remote team members for many years. While attending RubyConf 2016, they discussed how a remote team member didn't feel as included in a retrospective over a video call while the local team used a whiteboard (or other analog ways of running a retro), as it was hard to see the items on camera. So, being software engineers, we engineered some software. In building RemoteRetro, we used it to run retrospectives on the progress of the development of it. We've built the tool to scratch our itch, to solve our problem. We hope to help other teams also run excellent agile retrospectives, where every team member feels heard and included.

I actually really like the idea of this!! I'm not sure my team at work would adopt it because we are really intention about making it something that we all hop on a call together and do, and also we have a long standing google doc that keeps track of everything from previous retros so we can reference it (and in general my team is hesitant to adopt new tools when we have ones that do the job). BUT i want to try to start doing more retros outside of my fulltime job and doing them for side projects and other folks i engage with - could be a great way to do things with clients that I work with regularly, or other teams that I work with for side projects!
