Retrospectives for Jira

Your development team lives in Jira. Your retrospectives should too. Retrospectives for Jira brings simple, engaging sprint retros directly into your Jira workspace — no context switching, no extra tabs, no friction. Just focused retrospectives where your team already works.

Why Run Retrospectives Inside Jira?

Context switching kills productivity. When your team has to leave Jira to run a retrospective in a separate tool, it adds friction. People forget to join, links get lost, and the retro feels disconnected from the actual work.

With Retrospectives Online for Jira, your retros live alongside your sprints, boards, and backlogs. Everyone on the team can access the retro from the same place they track their daily work. It's the simplest way to make retrospectives a natural part of your sprint cycle.

How It Works

Getting started is straightforward. Install the plugin from the Atlassian Marketplace, and it becomes available in your Jira workspace. From there, any team member can create and join retrospectives without leaving Jira.

  • Install from the Atlassian Marketplace in one click
  • Create a retro directly from your Jira project
  • Invite your team — they're already in Jira
  • Run the retro with the same simple interface as the web app
  • All retro data stays within your Jira tenant

The Same Simple Experience, Inside Jira

Retrospectives Online for Jira isn't a stripped-down version of the web app. It's the full experience — the same clean interface, the same engagement features, the same focus on simplicity — all running natively inside Jira.

Your team gets icebreaker games, voting, grouping, and action items, all within the Jira environment they know. No new tool to learn, no separate accounts to manage. If you've ever wanted a Jira retrospective plugin that just works, this is it.

Built on Atlassian Forge

Retrospectives Online for Jira is built on Atlassian Forge, the latest generation of the Atlassian cloud platform. This means the app runs securely within Atlassian's infrastructure, with data residency and compliance built in.

For teams that care about security and data governance, this is a significant advantage over third-party tools that require separate authentication and data storage. Your retrospective data lives where your Jira data lives.

For Remote and Distributed Jira Teams

If your team is remote or distributed across timezones, running retros in Jira removes one more tool from the stack. Everyone already has access, everyone knows how to navigate Jira, and the retro is just a click away.

Looking for a standalone online retrospective tool? Retrospectives Online also works as a web app, perfect for teams that want flexibility. Or check out why we're a great fit as a retrospective tool for remote teams.
