What QRetro is
QRetro is a web-based tool for continuous workflow improvement that helps teams assess health, share findings, and turn retrospective discussions into action plans. Its retrospective flow has seven stages: health check, icebreaker, comments, grouping, voting, discussion, and results. Teams can use more than 100 customizable templates, and QRetro automatically creates a summary with recommended next steps. It assesses team health across six parameters; ROTI metrics and historical trends are available through its MCP tools. Planning poker includes Fibonacci, T-shirt, and custom decks, with votes hidden until reveal. Participants can join a board by shared link without creating an account. Integrations with Jira, Linear, Telegram, and Slack cover work items, notifications, and retrospective reports. Its MCP server lets compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code query retrospective data and take scoped actions. Tokens default to read scope and can be revoked. The free plan has no team limit, board quota, or per-seat fee, and includes planning poker.
