Getting Started
How SprintPulse Works
Run effective retrospectives with facilitator-led navigation, real-time collaboration, and AI-powered insights. No complex setup required.
Create your board
Give your retro a name (like "Sprint 23 Retro") and you're ready to go. SprintPulse uses the proven Plus/Delta format that works for any team. Optionally set vote limits, or enable anonymous feedback and comments for more candid input.
Pro tip: Create a new board for each sprint. SprintPulse tracks trends across your retrospectives, helping you spot recurring themes over time.
Invite your team
Share your board via a simple join code, send email invitations, or post the link directly to Slack. Team members can sign up in seconds with email or Google. See who's online in real-time.
Start the retro
The facilitator kicks off the session and guides everyone through each step. Before diving into feedback, participants share how they're feeling to set the tone for an open conversation.
Facilitator-led navigation
The facilitator controls the flow, guiding everyone through each step in sync. Start a synchronized timer to keep each step timeboxed.
Share your mood
Everyone shares how they're feeling before the retro begins. This helps the team understand each other's mindset and encourages openness.
Collect feedback
Participants add their thoughts to two columns: Plus (what went well) and Delta (what could improve). See typing indicators as teammates write, and mark yourself as done when ready.
+ Plus
What went well this sprint? Wins, successes, things to keep doing.
△ Delta
What could improve? Challenges, frustrations, opportunities.
Real-time updates
Feedback cards appear instantly on everyone's screen as teammates share their thoughts. No refreshing needed.
Typing indicators
See when teammates are writing feedback - no awkward silences wondering if anyone is contributing.
Comments
Add comments to any feedback card to share context or ask questions. Comments stay attached to the feedback.
