The Best Free Anonymous Retrospective Tool
Are you looking for a tool for anonymous retrospectives? Then Echometer is the right place for you.
When to use anonymity in retrospectives
- ✅ Avoid mutual influencing ("biasing") during brainstorming
- ✅ Prevent HIPPO and halo effect ("Highest Paid Person Opinion" is always right)
- ✅ Prevent social desirability and consensus bias in votes
- ✅ Anonymity as a low hurdle for feedback to receive more input and more variance (e.g. also unpopular opinions)
