Polling

You can add simple polls directly to any idea, comment or meeting chat message in TeamRetro, making it easier to gather fast, structured feedback during discussions.

Quick Polls offer a lightweight way to:

• Gauge team sentiment or alignment before making decisions
• Prioritize ideas through quick estimation or voting
• Surface uncertainty or dissent early in the process
• Add structure to open-ended discussions without slowing them down
• Make feedback visible and inclusive, especially for remote or quieter team members
