Add feedback with privacy
The first step of your retrospective is adding feedback. Each user can add their sprint feedback with privacy without influencing other team members. You can add feedback with emoticons, scores and text. This way you can express emotion and measure trends within your team.
Your retrospective should have emotion, scores and text feedback to get a good conversation
Discuss the feedback
Once everyone has added their feedback, the retrospective leader will take the team to the discuss step. Each team member get's time to present their case.
