Standup stories your team actually laughs at. Planning poker that doesn't take forever. Retrospectives that surface real insights. One platform — all three ceremonies.

Retrospectives
Structured retros with phase-based facilitation
// The Suite
01 — Daily Standup
Forget "what did you do yesterday." Each day, your team gets a freshly generated fantasy adventure narrative with randomized roles — Wizards, Rangers, Barbarians — matched to real-time weather in your city.

☁️ Weather: Light rain in Austin, TX
As the rain falls upon the ancient forest, the fellowship ventures into the misty veil seeking the legendary Cache of Merged PRs...
The champions and their roles:
🔥 Wizard ─ Travis
🛡 Paladin ─ Andrew
🏹 Ranger ─ Priya
🤬 Barbarian ─ Nick

Votes revealed:
⚠️ Priya voted 21 while others voted 5–8. Outlier detected — discuss?
02 — Planning Poker
All votes hidden until the facilitator reveals. No anchoring. No hippo effect. Fibonacci, T-shirt, custom scales — whatever your team uses. Vote analytics surface outliers the moment cards are revealed, so discussions are targeted.
03 — Retrospectives
Eight built-in formats — Start/Stop/Continue, Sailboat, 4Ls, and more. Anonymous cards protect psychological safety. Dot voting surfaces priorities. Action items persist across sprints so nothing gets dropped.

// Party Buffs
Transform boring rituals into moments the team actually looks forward to. When ceremonies are fun, participation improves — and so does morale.
Anonymous retro cards and blind poker voting remove social pressure. People share what they actually think, not what they think you want to hear.
Vote analytics surface mean, median, and outliers the moment cards are revealed. Standup stats and retro history keep your team honest across sprints.

// Field Reports
"Our standups went from 45 minutes of awkward silence to something people actually rush to attend. The Barbarian is always Nick."
— Sarah T. — Engineering Lead, Series B startup
"Planning poker used to take forever because everyone waited to see what the senior devs voted. Blind voting fixed that immediately."
— Marcus L. — Scrum Master, Fintech
"The phase-based facilitation kept our retro on track for the first time ever. Brainstorm, group, vote, discuss — no more 90-minute freeform chaos."
— Priya K. — Staff Engineer
"I send the standup share link to the group chat every morning. Someone always screenshots their role. We have a whole album of 'Barbarian Nick.'"
— James O. — Tech Lead

// Frequently Asked
No. One DSU account gives your team access to all three — Standup, Planning Poker, and Retrospectives. Everything lives under your workspace.
Rooms stay open until the facilitator closes them. Teammates can vote whenever they're online. The facilitator reveals votes when everyone's in — works across timezones.
Yes. Each company workspace supports multiple teams. Poker rooms and retro boards are scoped to a specific team, so the Eng team and QA team stay in their own lanes.
Standup stories, poker votes, and retro cards are stored securely per workspace. Other tenants can't see your data. Retro anonymous mode hides card authors even from the facilitator until the board closes.
Eight built-in: Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls, Mad/Sad/Glad, Sailboat, Starfish, Rose/Thorn/Bud, KPT, and Good/Bad/Next Steps. Team leads can also create custom templates with any columns they want.
Yes — no lock-in. Cancel from your billing settings and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period.
// Final Boss
Standups worth waking up for. Poker that surfaces real disagreements. Retros that actually change how your team works.
