Kollabe
5.6Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker
Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and has more recently extended into retrospectives — the estimation side remains the centre of gravity, with retros and standups added as adjacent rituals rather than the headline product. It now bundles 600+ icebreakers, anonymous voting, AI-generated summaries and sync-back to Jira, GitHub, Linear and Azure DevOps in a flat <strong>per-space</strong> workspace, though the retro experience is younger and less battle-tested than its estimation roots.
