SprintRetro Board Layout

🔢 Key Areas of the Board

Open

① Polls Panel

Polls allow moderators to quickly gather team sentiment or feedback.

• Start from a predefined list or create a custom question.

• Only moderators can create or reset polls.

• Polls are not visible to users until one is created — but visible to the moderator at all times.

• Once a poll is live, it appears for all users (with the option to toggle it off individually).

② Retrospective Columns

These are your main reflection areas (e.g. Start, Stop, Continue or custom labels).

• Any user can add an item using the + Add Item button.

• Column names, colors, and order are defined by the template selected by the moderator.

• All feedback stays live and editable during the session (depending on visibility mode).

③ Actions Column

This column tracks action items discussed or created during the session.

• Add directly here, or link them from any item card.

• Actions persist across retros, so nothing is lost.

• The column is minimizable by users — but visible to everyone by default.

④ Sprint Metrics Panel

One of SprintRetro’s most powerful features — real Jira sprint data inside your retro.

• View burndown, velocity, sprint goal status, scope change, and more.

• Helps teams reflect using both qualitative feedback and hard metrics.

• Metrics visibility can be restricted to moderators via settings.

• Optional: You can choose not to associate a sprint at all.

⑤ Filter Panel

Filter retro items by:

• Most Votes

• Most Recent
  Helps during grouping or action-taking phases of the session.

⑥ Session Timer (Moderator Only)

• Set a countdown timer to keep the session focused.

• Visible to all users once started.

• Great for pacing phases like "Add items", "Vote", or "Discussion".

⑦ Visibility Mode (Moderator Only)

• Hidden Mode: Each user sees only their own input.

• Visible Mode: Reveals all contributions.
  Useful for preventing bias and surfacing diverse opinions.

⑧ Voting Indicator

Shows how many votes you have left.

• Vote limit is set by the moderator.

• Helps guide prioritization during the session.

⑨ Toggle Actions Panel

Each user can show or hide the Actions column on their screen — it’s visible by default.

⑩ Toggle Polls Panel

Same as above — polls can be collapsed if not actively used by a participant.

⑪ Invite to Session

Copy and share the session link with others.

• If the session is public, anyone can join.

• If private, only users manually added will be able to access.

⑫ Icebreaker (Moderator Only)

• Launch a quick team warm-up question before starting.

• Choose from preset questions or write your own.

• Icebreaker pops up to all users but can be closed individually.
