Your team wants to run
better sprint rituals.
They want to stop ending the retro in a Google Doc nobody reads. This page has everything you need to decide whether to let them try it.
What is HonestRetro?
The retro their scrum master already runs. Anonymous cards by default. A private coach before anyone shares. Action items that carry over until someone actually owns them. Not a Google Doc. Not a Miro board they transcribe into Confluence after.
Anonymous feedback
People write what they actually think. No politics, no filtering.
AI coaching
AI helps every participant articulate specific, actionable feedback privately.
AI-powered grouping
AI clusters feedback into themes so the team discusses what matters.
SMART action items
AI drafts commitments with owners, deadlines, and success criteria. Syncs to Jira or Linear. Incomplete items carry over. Weekly Slack digests keep everyone accountable.
Async Standups
Yesterday/today/blockers format. Auto-close at 10 AM with AI summary. Themes automatically bridge to retros. No more 30-minute standup meetings.
Why is your team asking?
Teams don’t search for retro tools when things are going well. If someone sent you this page, at least one of these is true:
Retros aren’t producing change.
The team leaves with action items that sound great in the meeting. By next sprint, the same issues come up again. Nobody tracks what carried over. Nothing sticks.
People aren’t being honest.
Only two or three people talk. Everyone else watches the clock. The real feedback happens in Slack DMs after the meeting — where it can’t change anything.
The facilitator is overloaded.
Your scrum master is running the timer, taking notes, managing the conversation, and reading the room — all at once. They’re asking for a tool, not a bigger budget.
Standups are eating time.
The daily standup takes 30 minutes because people can’t prepare async. What should be a 2-minute check-in becomes a meeting that kills focus every morning. Blockers surface too late.
What if we don’t?
Retros keep happening either way. The question is whether they produce anything.
Recurring issues
The same problems come up sprint after sprint because incomplete items are never carried forward. The team stops believing the retro can fix anything.
Missed signals
Morale dips, process friction, and burnout patterns stay invisible until someone quits or a project fails.
Quiet people stay quiet
Without anonymity, the people with the most important insights — often the most junior — never share them.

Let them try it for one sprint.
That’s the ask. One retro with Unpack. If the team gets more honest feedback, action items that sync to Jira, and incomplete items that actually carry over — you’ll know. If not, they’ll go back to the Google Doc and nobody lost anything.
