    The interface matches our process. When we do poker planning and retro, little to no preparation is needed. The meetings follow simple and straightforward steps. In the end, we get the meeting minutes. There is also a rudimentary board for tracking our retro action points. The website works on the phone which allows people to join the meeting without carrying their laptops to the meeting room. And there is a Jira integration for quicker poker planning setup.

    We have been using Parabol for retro & pokering meetings for over two years now in different projects. Everyone who has worked with the tool always comments on the ease of use, the smooth user experience and the way it enables interaction within the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    We felt that team behind parabol focused more on the pro plans instead of the Enterprise plans, while we paying a hefty price for their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    The follow-up from the retro feedback wasn't as intuitive as I'd have liked and the process to access the feedback after the retro was clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Parabol is an invaluable tool for group collaboration and cohesion with coworkers, enabling seamless virtual retrospectives while working remotely. The retrospectives follow an easy process that helps with moderating and really emphasize what is important at the current moment. Parabol also offers planning poker which I found to be very well designed. The poker impressively shows the votes that have been cast and the final decisions made.

    We used Parabol in my previous company for a very short time to manage meetings effectively for internal team collaborations as well as for our meetings with our existing clients and prospects. It helped our sales and marketing teams improve meeting conversions and efficiency and become more agile and collaborative.
    Digital Kanban boards and sticky notes help in organising information. Agile scheduler helps in easy set up. Notes maker and follow ups easy to schedule and manage.

    Integrations with internal tools. Smart Scheduling rules can be much advanced like Calendly. More flexibility for users.
