Good team retrospectives are a real win for companies. They have a positive impact on productivity, engagement and satisfaction – with Echometer you can noticeably and measurably increase these benefits.
Is a paid tool for team retrospectives worth it?

What user settings and levels are available and what permissions can be granted for the retrospective?
Echometer offers various roles and settings options. Specifically, there are team admins or facilitators, team members and workspace admins with different rights. The Vegas rule applies: only those who are part of a team can see the results of the retrospective.
Is the Echometer Retrospective software also suitable for several teams or projects at the same time or can it be scaled?
Absolutely. Especially if you want to work with multiple teams, Echometer might be the best retrospective tool. Echometer is scalable for numerous teams and parallel projects - ideal for organizations with multiple Scrum or project teams. The workspace settings, for example, help with this, allowing you to create dashboards across teams and even query a workspace health check across teams with surveys.
