It started with
a sticky note.

We built ScatterSpoke as a retrospective tool: a format for every kind of sprint, anonymous cards, blind voting, and a board anyone could facilitate.

Teams ran better retros. The hour felt shorter. People came back.

And every board still ended the same way: a wall of five-word notes, a vote on which one to talk about, and a room guessing at what was behind it.

“Reviews take forever” tells you something hurts. It doesn't tell you where, for whom, or what to change. The person with the real reason was often the one who never wrote a card.

So we built Spoke. It talks to each person on their own, asks the follow-up a good facilitator would ask, then reads every answer and tells you what it adds up to.

It works for a sprint team. It works for ten thousand people who just walked out of a conference. The retro boards are still here, and still free.
