The complete room flow
RetroRally gives the facilitator a shared big-screen view and every participant a simple phone controller. The room writes privately, discusses deliberately, and leaves with an owned action.
STEP 01
The host chooses a team, duration, contribution privacy, and one of 12 playable retrospective formats, then puts the room on the shared screen.

STEP 03
Most formats begin with a private one-to-five mood check; Energy Levels reframes it as a battery check. Fast Weather and Lean Coffee sessions start directly with their defining prompt.

STEP 04
Participants add concrete sprint signals to the chosen exercise. Authors stay hidden by default, or appear by nickname when the host selected named contributions. Each format supplies its own lanes and prompts.
Add private input
Keep the room moving under the chosen privacy mode
Participant phone
Write, review, and edit your own input
STEP 05
Visual boards use a private three-dot ballot, Lean Coffee builds a ranked agenda, Weather combines every report into one forecast, and Boss Battle reveals threats one by one with 2/1/0 reactions.

Participant phone
Choose privately without seeing live totals
STEP 06
Board and Lean Coffee formats discuss the selected signal before jumping to a fix. Boss Battle collects private moves first, while Weather asks the team for one collaborative improvement.
Discuss deliberately
Guide the format's timed conversation
Participant phone
Stay with the signal before solving it
STEP 07
Participants turn the conversation into a concrete experiment, course correction, first move, or mission. When several options remain, the final vote stays private and reveals only after it closes.
Shape the action
Capture options and reveal the decision
Participant phone
Suggest a testable action and vote when needed
STEP 08
The chosen action receives a visible owner and target date so accountability is clear after the meeting.
Assign the action
Confirm owner and due date
Participant phone
Volunteer or see the owned action
STEP 09
At the next session, the host reviews the action outcome before the team creates new work.
