Agile retro timeboxing

Free Sprint Retrospective Timer

Use a sprint retrospective timer for agile retros, team reflection, what worked, what to improve, action planning, and closing commitments. Keep the retro moving and create an XTimer room when the team needs a shared timer.

Built for this job

Sprint retrospectives can protect action planning and closing commitments.

Agile teams can see the current retro stage and remaining time.

Frequently asked questions

What is a sprint retrospective timer?

A sprint retrospective timer structures agile retros around setting the stage, gathering data, generating insights, deciding actions, and closing.

How long should a sprint retrospective be?

Use 30 minutes for quick retros, 60 minutes for normal sprint retros, and 90 minutes for larger or more complex retrospectives.

Can remote agile teams share the retro timer?

Yes. Create an XTimer room so the facilitator can control the timer while the team sees the same viewer display.
