FAQs about Retrospective Tool

Top answers for anyone exploring our Retrospective Tool.

What is the ROI of the paid version of Echometer?

Good team retrospectives are a real win for companies. They have a positive impact on productivity, engagement and satisfaction - with Echometer you can tangibly and measurably increase these benefits.

Our data shows that teams achieve an average ROI increase of +120 % per retrospective when using Echometer. The ROI calculation makes all assumptions transparent, so you can enter effects as realistically as possible.

Important levers:

  • Time saving: Retro preparation, live sessions and follow-up are much faster thanks to team templates, retro themes and automated documentation. You can collect feedback asynchronously, use controlled timeboxing and record all measures directly in the tool.
  • Scalability: Your coaching resources are limited? Echometer enables teams to conduct retrospectives independently, helps new moderators get started and gives you a cross-team culture barometer.

With the Echometer ROI calculator, you can calculate exactly what added value you generate for your company - ideal as a basis for decision-making for budget managers or if you want to present the business case.

Is a paid tool for team retrospectives worth it?

Team retrospectives can quickly turn into time-consuming processes if preparation, moderation and follow-up are implemented manually. A paid tool like Echometer helps you to standardize these processes, accelerate them and make them measurably better.

Why the investment is worth it:

  • Reusable Templates & Themes: You don’t have to rebuild retros every time. Instead, proven formats, timeboxing templates and asynchronous feedback are available.
  • Documentation & Measures: Every learning and every action item is automatically recorded. This ensures that knowledge is retained, even when team members change.
  • View of Team Health: Dashboards show trends across teams, allowing you to react seamlessly when issues arise.
  • Scalability & Independence: Teams conduct their own retrospectives, coaches remain focused, and new team members find it easy to get started.

In addition: Echometer delivers standardized ROI calculations. This allows every manager to see in black and white the time savings, productivity gains and cultural improvements achieved by the investment.

You can then manage your subscription (for both the retro tool and the 1:1 software) within the workspace settings.

If you do not have access to your company’s credit card yourself, you can simply add a buyer as a workspace admin in your Echometer workspace so that this admin can carry out the upgrade for you.

What is the difference between the Retrospective tool and the 1:1 software?

In Echometer there are two separate software solutions that are available within each workspace in Echometer:

  • 1:1 tool: Software for planning and conducting 1:1 meetings and tracking employee development
  • Retrospective tool: Software for planning and moderating retrospectives and tracking team development through team health checks

Both are independent software solutions, so they can be used separately from each other.

However, they work according to the same principles and aim to achieve the same added value: The continuous improvement of agile teams. In this respect, the simultaneous use of both software solutions is recommended.

Can I appoint several admins in Echometer?

Yes, you can assign administration rights to any number of users at both team level and workspace level. Please note the following:

  • Only workspace admins can take out and manage a Echometer subscription for a Echometer workspace.
