Echometer is like EasyRetro marrying Mural - love it! With Echometer, remote retros can work much better and even be fun!
retro tool alternative
Clemens SchöneScrum Master @ Communardo Products
Echometer feeds each retro with new discussion points, reveals mood pictures in the team and makes me reflect on my own bias. After two years I can recommend Echometer to anyone who wants to enrich their retros and better understand their team!

For me, the greatest added value of Echometer lies in the simple visualization and analysis of team development over time.
