What's the best tool for capturing/documenting team retrospectives?
I'm looking for a web based tool to capture the input of multiple people across multiple locations

- Evan KimbrellFounder, Sprintkick · WrittenFree for teams and we use it with a few distributed teams to manage our tasks and notes in workspaces, to track team and project progress. Some good use cases on https://www.taskade.com/templates
- Mike CoutermarshEngineer @ PlanetScale · WrittenI like to use Quip for this. Can send out a shared doc, make edits & comment on each. Also useful for having meetings with a remote team. Everyone can edit/see changes at the same time.
- Nathan BaschezWorking for progress. · WrittenI'm a huge fan of dropbox paper. Much faster and lighter-weight than Google Docs.
- Laure Albouymarketing @ bonsai · EditedLaure Albouy made this productTeams use Slite to document and organize their retrospectives, processes and anything that should be written down really :) features include: a real-time editor, channels to organize your docs, comments, public shares + other sweet stuff!
- John AbabsehEpiphany Enthusiast · WrittenI like notion its a product I found on product hunt and is great for unifying teams while organizing important docs and tasks.
- Anastasia ChurazovaProduct Marketer · WrittenIt comes with a slick WYSIWYG editor which allows collaboration in real time. Different workspaces can be created for each team, and documents can be clustered by topic so it's pretty easy to navigate. We have a few remote team members who get instant notifications whenever they are tagged in a document or a comment, and integrated with Slack is works perfectly. Oh, and the best part is that they offer a free subscription plan:)Jenny ColemanHR Manager · WrittenNuclino is a great documentation tool. It serves as a team wiki or a knowledge base and is super easy to use. Highly recommended.
- 2ProProfs Knowledge BaseShrey GuptaProduct Growth Manager · WrittenI used ProProfs Knowledge Base software for something similar. You can give it a try. The tool is cloud-based and allows multiple people from different locations to work together on a centralized document. They can share inputs, edit, review, and access the content across various devices and browsers. The best thing is that it comes with a Forever Free plan that gives you access to its basic features. For more advanced features, you can upgrade to its enterprise plan.
- Pulkit AgrawalCEO @trychameleon for user onboarding · WrittenAt the risk of being perceived as boring, I'll suggest Google Docs -- it does the job well (multiple collaborators, suggesting mode, history of revisions etc.) and works with Drive (which we use for all our docs storage). I also especially like their mobile apps, which make searching and editing really easy. One thing we've been doing for individual retros is to have a table (Agenda, Notes, Action items) for each review, and then doing a quick recap from the previous time at the start of the meeting. This helps maintain some continuity and to build the habit of acting on these feedback items after the end of the meeting.
- Daniel Lobo made this productYou can give winio a try. It's crazy simple to start working on it. You have projects and inside of it attachments, tasks, and discussions. It doesn't have a ton of features that you won't use anyway. It just does its thing.
- 1Stickies.ioRyan PetersoniOS developer, mostly · WrittenI spent some time working w/ Carbon Five a few years ago, and they use a self-built tool called Stickies.io. You can add remote collaborators, color-code notes to represent your different categories, and export the results as a csv at the end of the meeting. And it's free.
- Ariel LongGrowth with tech · WrittenNot only all files together, but also versions, annotations, comments and status, all in one place. Also shared history :)
- Alex PotrivaevProduct Designer and Entrepreneur · WrittenAlex Potrivaev made this productI think Teambit is really good for this job (disclosure: I’m one of the co-founders). It can help you to run regular retros with lightweight surveys. You’ll be able to effortlessly gather the opinion from everyone in the team (text and reaction-based), see it all in a single place and analyse it over time. And on top of helping with retros, it can empower your team to holistically improve performance by making feedback a daily habit.
