Use the Retrospective page to reflect, learn, and adapt with your team.
The Retrospective page of the Easy Agile TeamRhythm app is a place for your team to reflect and adapt, alongside your work in Jira.
You’ll have a Retrospective page for each scrum board, kanban board, and (Cloud-only) team-managed software project in Jira.
Learn how to find the Retrospectives page in Jira .

Mood : anonymously submit a vote on how the sprint/work has been, and see the survey results
Bling: apply Templates , or add/remove a fourth column (not including the Action column)
Timer : time-box discussions so your ceremony doesn’t get off-track, or set a few minutes for participants to think about feedback
Focus: sort items to focus on the most popular by reaction, or filter to show only items in specific categories
Actions : show or hide the Action column, depending on what part of the ceremony you’re focused on
