Tag your Team Members!

Bring your team closer together with the new @mention feature. Tag team members directly in your retrospective items to highlight contributions, assign follow-ups, or simply give credit where it's due.

What's New

Direct Team Member Mentions

Reference specific team members within retrospective items using the familiar @username syntax. Whether you're noting who championed a particular improvement or identifying the person best suited to tackle an action item, mentions make your retrospectives more personal and actionable.

Enhanced Text Formatting

  • Rich text support: Bold important points and create organized lists within your retrospective items

  • Visual mentions: @mentioned team members appear with distinctive formatting that stands out in discussions

  • Improved readability: Better structure and emphasis help teams focus on what matters most

Seamless Integration

Mentions work naturally within your existing retrospective workflow. Simply type @ followed by a team member's name while adding items, comments, or action items. The mention formatting appears instantly, making it clear who's being referenced.

Why It Matters

Retrospectives are fundamentally about team collaboration and shared accountability, but it's often unclear who contributed specific insights or who should own particular action items. Generic feedback like "someone mentioned..." or "the team should..." lacks the clarity needed for effective follow-through.

With @mentions, you can give proper credit to team members who surface important issues, clearly assign ownership of action items, and create more engaging discussions where everyone feels recognized for their contributions. This personal touch transforms retrospectives from abstract team exercises into meaningful conversations about individual and collective growth.
