FigJam

FigJam is the whiteboard product inside Figma — sticky notes, timer, music, expressive cursor stamps, voting sessions, an AI co-pilot that sorts and summarises stickies, and 300+ ready-made templates including community retro boards. Design and product teams already living in Figma get retros without buying a second tool, backed by Figma's SAML/SCIM, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and Enterprise data residency in the EU, Australia, India and Brazil. Figma's official MCP server reads and writes FigJam boards on every plan, including free. Voting sessions, open guest sessions, audio chat and webhooks all require a paid team; publishing custom templates requires Organization.

FigJam pitches itself as "The Online Collaborative Whiteboard for Teams" — bundled inside Figma, included with every seat on every plan, for design and product teams who already collaborate there.

"Define ideas, align on decisions, and move work forward—all in one place."

Starter gives a team 3 FigJam files, 300+ templates, the timer, music and 500 AI credits a month, but voting sessions, open guest sessions, audio chat and webhooks all need a paid team. Unlimited boards start at a $3/user/mo Collab seat (annual; $5 monthly) with full FigJam editing and view-only Figma Design, so facilitators skip the $16 Full seat. The 2026 pitch has tilted toward agents — Figma now sells FigJam as the canvas your coding agent draws on.

FigJam is the most fun retro venue on this list, and that isn't a backhanded compliment. Stamps, emotes, high-fives, music and cursor chat carry participation without the facilitator working for it, and AI Sort/Summarize does the real job — clusters stickies by theme, then drafts an action summary in one click. All of that, plus the timer, is on the free tier.

The gaps are the ones every whiteboard has: no tracked action items, no recurring retros, no health checks, no cross-team reporting. The AI writes actions as a text block — no owners, no due dates, nothing that carries into the next sprint. Every official connector (Jira, Confluence, Asana, Linear, Trello, Notion) embeds a Figma file in the other tool rather than pushing anything out of it. Anonymity is thin: votes stay hidden during a session, then reveal who voted, and stickies always carry a name. Voting needs a paid team; publishing custom templates needs Organization.

Where FigJam moved in 2026 is the platform — an official MCP server that reads and writes FigJam boards on every plan, wired into Notion and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Great for agent-generated diagrams; it still doesn't give a Scrum Master an action register.

Best if Figma is already home. If it isn't, a dedicated retro tool buys you owners, due dates and carryover for similar money.
