How it works
Start a retro session
Create a new retro from your Hilma dashboard or via Slack/Teams command. Choose a template and share the access code with your team—no login required for participants.
Brainstorm together
Team members add notes to each column in real-time. Everyone can see updates instantly. Use the timer to keep things moving. Notes are anonymous until you're ready to discuss.
Vote and prioritize
Each team member gets a set number of votes. Use them to highlight the most important topics. AI can suggest groupings for similar notes to streamline discussion.
Create action items
Turn discussions into commitments. Assign owners, set due dates, and export action items. A summary is automatically posted to your team channel.
