SprintRetro
5.9Jira-native retros with real sprint data
SprintRetro is an Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity and predictability, scope change, carryover, cycle time, second-by-second burndown) into the retro board itself. A major June 2026 release widened it into a continuous-improvement workspace: an infinite whiteboard with visual templates, anonymous team-health pulse checks with cross-sprint trends, an on-demand AI facilitator, and an action dashboard that quality-scores every action. Both Marketplace listings are Cloud Fortified. The free app still covers unlimited users, but a paid Pro app now carries custom templates, unlimited grouping and AI sprint summaries.

SprintRetro — pros
- + <strong>Real Jira sprint data inside the retro</strong> — velocity and predictability over five sprints, scope change, carryover tagged with how many sprints an issue has slipped, cycle time per status, and a burndown that records every individual point change
- + The action loop is the best part: actions link back to the idea that triggered them, carry forward with duplicate protection, get an AI SMART quality score with a one-tap rewrite, and can be pushed into Jira as issues
- + June 2026 added a genuine infinite whiteboard — stickies, shapes, frames, tables, connectors, live cursors, follow-a-teammate, Tenor GIFs, private mode, a synced board timer, PNG/print-PDF export, and <em>board import from Miro or Mural</em>
- + Anonymous Team Health pulses across seven dimensions, with cross-sprint trends overlaid against committed-vs-delivered and carryover — the health-vs-delivery view is rare at this price
- + <strong>Cloud Fortified</strong> and Bugcrowd bug-bounty on both listings, and the free app still covers unlimited users on a Jira site
SprintRetro — cons
- − Jira Cloud only — every participant needs a Jira licence, and there is no Slack, Teams, Confluence or standalone web app, nor any public API, webhooks or MCP server
- − <em>The free tier is narrowing.</em> Today: 3 basic templates, no custom template creation, limited polls and grouping, no AI sprint summary. Published as planned: ~3–5 sessions/month and under 8 participants per session
- − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own — the trust centre's own entries attribute both to AWS, Atlassian Cloud and Render, not to an Agile Pulse audit. No SCIM, audit logs or data residency, and the app is not "Runs on Atlassian" certified
- − No async mode, no recurring or scheduled retros, and no cross-team or org-level health rollup — the Pro usage report covers adoption, not outcomes
- − Export is whiteboard-only (PNG or print-to-PDF); column-mode retros still have no board export beyond pushing an action into Jira
TeamRetro — pros
- + Health checks and maturity models as a first-class module — custom dimensions, radar charts, trends across sprints
- + Three modules on one subscription: retrospectives, health checks, planning-poker estimation
- + SAML SSO, RBAC and US-or-EU hosting on <em>every</em> 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
- + <em>trAI</em> in-meeting assistant on trial and paid plans, plus 12 native in-meeting icebreaker games on every account
TeamRetro — 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
