Sprint Retros - Private note board

We have launched Sprint Retros as a natural companion to Planning Poker. We have opted to start with a more guided retro experience, but there’s still plenty of customizations available to fit your team.

  • Free version available
  • Included with existing paid plan -- no extra cost
  • AI-driven automatic topic grouping
  • Push action items into your issue tracker & follow up in the next retro

See how your team estimates over time

Session insights now turn completed estimates into a useful team history. Review vote distributions, move between sessions, and spot trends without leaving the room.

  • Review session-level vote distribution and completed results.
  • Compare recent sessions with clear trend views.
  • See active-session metrics as a participant, not only as the moderator.
Major release

Browser Companion 0.3 keeps estimation beside your backlog

The SprintBee Browser Companion now does more than capture issues. It can show the live session, collect votes, surface the queue, and help facilitators keep a round moving from Jira or Linear.

  • Vote and follow live rounds from the Companion panel.
  • Capture work from Jira and Linear issue pages.
  • Choose the right room when several rooms share a project.
  • Send facilitator nudges and review ballots from the panel.

Linear is now a first-class integration

Teams using Linear can pull work into SprintBee, search within a scoped workspace, and sync accepted estimates back to the issue.

  • Connect a Linear workspace with OAuth.
  • Search and import issues without copying titles by hand.
  • Keep useful issue context visible while the team estimates.
  • Write accepted estimates back when they fit the Linear team's scale.

Split oversized stories without leaving the room

When a story is too large to estimate confidently, moderators can now break it into smaller work items inside SprintBee and keep the planning session moving.

  • Create smaller child items from the active story or a queued item.
  • Choose whether the original story is replaced or remains available with reduced scope.
  • Insert the new items together at the front of the upcoming queue.
  • Create local SprintBee items on every plan, or create connected Jira or Linear issues when your integration supports it.
