HOW IT WORKS: UP TO 5 PHASES
Create a retro, share the link with your team, and guide everyone through structured phases. Optionally review past action items first, then work through the four core phases. The moderator controls the pace—when you're ready, advance to the next phase with one click.
"PHASE 01
REVIEW"
INSTRUCTION:
REVIEW SCRUM ACTION ITEMS FROM YOUR LAST RETRO. TRACK PROGRESS.
OPTIONAL PHASE
"PHASE 02
REFLECT"
INSTRUCTION:
COLLECT ANONYMOUS FEEDBACK: WHAT WENT WELL & WHAT COULD BE BETTER.
GOOD & BAD
"PHASE 03
CLUSTER"
INSTRUCTION:
GROUP SIMILAR FEEDBACK IN REAL-TIME. FIND PATTERNS TOGETHER.
ORGANIZE THEMES
"PHASE 04
VOTE"
INSTRUCTION:
EACH PERSON GETS 3 VOTES. PRIORITIZE WHAT MATTERS MOST.
DEMOCRATIC FOCUS
"PHASE 05
ACT"
INSTRUCTION:
DISCUSS TOP-VOTED ITEMS. CREATE ACTION ITEMS FOR YOUR NEXT SPRINT.
DRIVE CHANGE
01. Review Scrum Action Items (Optional)
Starting a new sprint retrospective? Review action items from your previous session together. Check off completed items—they'll be removed. Carry forward open items to maintain accountability.
02. Reflect: Good & Bad Feedback
Team members write anonymous feedback into two columns: "What went well" and "What could be better." Cards stay private until revealed—no groupthink, just honest feedback.
03. Cluster Feedback in Real-Time
The Scrum Master drags related cards together in real-time. All participants see changes instantly. Group similar feedback to identify themes and avoid redundant discussions.
04. Vote to Prioritize
Everyone gets 3 votes to spend on the items that matter most. Cards and groups sort by vote count in real-time so the team focuses on high-priority topics first.
05. Act: Create Sprint Actions
Work through top-voted feedback together. Create action items with owners and due dates for your next sprint. Actions persist after the retro ends—track progress and drive continuous improvement.
When the retro is complete, export everything to Excel. Review action items before your next retro and track what got done.

VIEW SOURCE CODECommon questions.
How does it work?
Create a retro, invite your team via link, and guide everyone through four phases: brainstorming (collect ideas anonymously), grouping (organize similar items), voting (prioritize what matters), and discussion (talk through top items and create action items).
Is it real-time?
Yes. All participants see updates instantly. When someone adds a card, votes, or moves to the next phase, everyone sees it immediately. No refreshing needed.
Self-hosted?
Absolutely. Fast Retro is fully open source. Clone the repo, run it on your own server, and customize it however you want. No license fees, no restrictions on internal use.
What counts toward the free tier?
Every feedback card created counts toward your 500 free items. After that, upgrade to unlimited feedback for €9.99/month per account. Deleted cards still count toward the limit to keep tracking straightforward.
Do participants need accounts?
Yes, everyone creates an account to participate. It's quick—just enter your email and click the magic link. No passwords to remember, no friction.
Can I run multiple retros?
Yes, create as many retros as you need. Run them simultaneously with different teams. Each retro is independent with its own participants and phases.
