Discover patterns as a team with multiplayer grouping

Once reflections are revealed, spot themes together by grouping related cards. 

  • Interactive, multiplayer grouping, with drag-and-drop sticky notes
  • Keep your retro board tidy with expandable and collapsible groups, so sticky notes don’t overlap
