HOW IT WORKS: 4 PHASES
Create a retro, share the link with your team, and guide everyone through four structured phases. The moderator controls the pace—when you're ready, advance to the next phase with one click.
"PHASE 01
REFLECT"
INSTRUCTION:
EVERYONE WRITES DOWN THEIR THOUGHTS PRIVATELY. NO ONE SEES UNTIL THE REVEAL.
ANONYMOUS INPUT
"PHASE 02
CLUSTER"
INSTRUCTION:
DRAG SIMILAR IDEAS TOGETHER INTO GROUPS. FIND THE PATTERNS.
ORGANIZE THEMES
"PHASE 03
PRIORITIZE"
INSTRUCTION:
EACH PERSON GETS 3 VOTES. SPEND THEM ON WHAT MATTERS MOST.
DEMOCRATIC FOCUS
"PHASE 04
ACT"
INSTRUCTION:
TALK THROUGH TOP-VOTED ITEMS. CREATE ACTION ITEMS. ASSIGN OWNERS.
DRIVE CHANGE
01. Reflect
Team members write feedback into two columns: "What went well" and "What could be better." Cards are private until the moderator reveals them so no one is influenced.
02. Cluster
The moderator drags related cards together to form groups. Similar ideas get consolidated, making it easier to see themes and avoid discussing the same point multiple times.
03. Prioritize
Everyone gets 3 votes to spend on the items that matter most to them. Cards and groups automatically sort by vote count so the team focuses on high-priority topics first.
04. Act
Work through the top-voted items together. Create action items with owners and due dates. Actions persist after the retro ends so you can track follow-through in future sessions.
When the retro is complete, export everything to Excel. Review action items before your next retro and track what got done.

VIEW SOURCE CODECommon questions.
How does it work?
Create a retro, invite your team via link, and guide everyone through four phases: brainstorming (collect ideas anonymously), grouping (organize similar items), voting (prioritize what matters), and discussion (talk through top items and create action items).
Is it real-time?
Yes. All participants see updates instantly. When someone adds a card, votes, or moves to the next phase, everyone sees it immediately. No refreshing needed.
Self-hosted?
Absolutely. Fast Retro is fully open source. Clone the repo, run it on your own server, and customize it however you want. No license fees, no restrictions on internal use.
What counts toward the free tier?
Every feedback card created counts toward your 3 free items. After that, upgrade to unlimited for €9.99/month. Deleted cards still count—we don't play games with limits.
Do participants need accounts?
Yes, everyone creates an account to participate. It's quick—just enter your email and click the magic link. No passwords to remember, no friction.
Can I run multiple retros?
Yes, create as many retros as you need. Run them simultaneously with different teams. Each retro is independent with its own participants and phases.
