Compare Parabol vs Planview LeanKit

About Parabol

Parabol software is an enterprise-ready online retrospective tool for agile teams, and anyone interested in creating systems of continuous improvement. It’s perfect for scrum masters and other leaders wanting to conduct a Lessons Learned meeting or team-building exercise. Parabol is effective, fast, and fun!

Running a retrospective is as easy as inviting your colleagues, sharing the meeting URL via email or Slack, and following the guided prompts. Tailor your retrospectives to suit your team with our helpful templates: your team’s experience will always be fresh and productive. We include "Start-Stop-Continue", "Glad-Sad-Mad", "4Ls", "Sailboat", "Working & Stuck", and other popular formats. You can even add your own!

Parabol retrospectives let your team discover together what it's learned and capture those learnings as a clear plan of action. Tasks are distributed in a detailed email summary sent via email or Slack and are captured in Parabol. Parabol's tasking system includes integrations, notifications, mentions, due dates, and rich text formatting. Use Parabol’s optional Action Meeting process to track improvements between Retrospectives.

Best of all, Parabol is free to get started.
