How do I start a new retro?

How do I invite others to my team?

Your team has a unique invite link that can be shared with anyone you want to include in your retros. This link can be found by selecting the team on the left you wish to invite someone to and then clicking on the teams invite link button on the dashboard.

Facilitator Controls

The person who creates the retrospective will automatically receive facilitator controls for that retrospective. They can restrict card and vote visibility to their authors so that others won't be influenced by what they are saying as well as set a timer and lock the format of the retrospective. They also have the ability to make other team members have the facilitator controls so that multiple people can manage larger retros.
