Why It Matters
In retrospectives with 30+ feedback items, tracking active conversations becomes nearly impossible. Important insights, clarifying questions, and team discussions can easily get buried in the noise, leading to missed context and incomplete understanding.
For distributed teams or async retrospectives, comments often arrive while you're focused elsewhere. By the time you return, it's difficult to remember which items had new activity or where meaningful discussions are happening.
With the unread comments indicator, you'll never lose track of your team's conversations. Every voice gets heard, every discussion gets the attention it deserves, and collaborating inside your retrospective becomes easier than ever.
Available now for all Kollabe users. Keep your team's conversations front and center where they belong.
