FocusRetro is an online retrospective tool for agile, remote, and hybrid teams. Its boards center on feedback, blind voting, timers, and action items, with phase timers, locked phases, topic grouping, and moderation controls to structure sessions. Templates include Went Well / To Improve / Action Items, Mad Sad Glad, Start-Stop-Continue, 4Ls, and a blank board. Action items can have owners, due dates, and statuses, and resurface at the start of the next retrospective. FocusRetro lists Jira and Slack integrations. Guests can join from an invite link to contribute feedback, vote, and access action items without an account. The free Starter plan includes three personal boards per month, core templates, voting, reactions, phase timers, and action items. Team costs 12.00 USD per year, billed once annually at $144; it includes one shared workspace, unlimited boards and members, and private or restricted boards with passwords. Business has custom annual billing. FocusRetro says it does not yet hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications.
