TeamRetro

Retrospectives, health checks, estimations and standups in one suite

Overall score
8.8

Overview

TeamRetro pairs structured retrospectives with longitudinal team health checks and planning-poker estimations, aimed at agile organisations running multiple teams under a coach or programme. An in-meeting AI assistant (trAI, still in beta) and a GA MCP server are included on every paid plan.

Best for: Agile coaches and engineering managers running ongoing health-check programmes alongside sprint retros.

How TeamRetro describes itself

TeamRetro sells consolidation, not a single ceremony. The target buyer is a Scrum Master, agile coach or engineering manager running several teams, and the plans are priced per team rather than per seat.

"The safe, fun and easy way for agile teams of all sizes to run effective retrospectives, health checks, estimations and standups."

Four modules share one subscription: retrospectives, health checks, planning-poker estimation and, new as of October 2026, async daily standups. The pitch leans hard on AI: trAI inside the meeting, an MCP server outside it. The plan table does the rest: SSO and US-or-EU hosting on every plan, 279 templates, "60,000+ agile teams". Copy written for procurement as much as for the facilitator running Thursday's retro.

Our take

The real differentiator is health checks built as a module, not a survey bolted onto a retro board: custom dimensions, maturity models, radar charts and trend lines across sprints. Retro facilitation is complete rather than clever: 279 templates, anonymity, hidden-until-next-step brainstorming, AI grouping, private voting, timed phases, action carryover, team agreements and ROTI. The platform is open, with a GA MCP server, team-level API keys and signed webhooks on every plan. trAI drafts actions from top-voted ideas and compares a session with the last one, but it is still labelled beta. Eighteen in-meeting icebreaker games blunt the old complaint that this tool was all business.

Read the Enterprise column before signing. SCIM, IP allowlisting, guest and observer roles and every cross-team report are Enterprise-only, and so is the SOC 2 Type 2 report; lower tiers get SOC 3. Audit logs are "available on request". ISO 27001 is AWS's, not TeamRetro's; hosting is US or EU only; there is no free tier. The flow is phase-based by design; teams wanting a blank canvas will find it prescriptive.

Pros

  • + Health checks and maturity models as a first-class module — custom dimensions, radar charts, trends across sprints
  • + Retrospectives, health checks and planning-poker estimation on one subscription
  • + SAML SSO, RBAC and US-or-EU hosting on every plan, not just Enterprise
  • + GA MCP server, team-level API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks on all plans; 15 native agile-stack integrations plus Zapier and n8n
  • + trAI in-meeting assistant (beta) on trial and paid plans, plus 18 in-meeting icebreaker games on every account

Cons

  • − No free tier — 30-day trial, then a paid plan
  • − The SOC 2 Type 2 report is Enterprise-only; lower tiers get the SOC 3 report instead
  • − SCIM, IP allowlisting, domain capture and guest/observer roles are Enterprise-only, and audit logs are on request rather than self-serve
  • − Cross-team insights, reports and programs (team-of-teams) require Enterprise
  • − ISO 27001 is inherited from AWS, and hosting is US or EU only — no APAC region despite the Australian HQ
