Retrospective Voting That Surfaces What Matters
EasyRetro has built-in dot voting for retrospectives. Facilitators set how many votes each person gets, limit votes per card or per column, hide the vote count while voting is open, then sort the board by votes to decide what to discuss first.
- Max votes per person
- One vote per card option
- Max votes per column
- Remaining votes counter
- Hide vote count
Available on: All plans. Reset all votes on paid plans
See Voting in action
Set the rules of the vote
Choose the maximum votes per person, allow only one vote per card, or set a vote budget per column. Everyone sees how many votes they have left.

Avoid groupthink
Hide the vote count until voting ends so people vote for what they believe, not for what is already winning.

Reset and run another round
Clear votes for a single column or reset all votes on the board to run a second round.
