GoRetro Premium - Getting management onboard

You're probably here because your team enjoys GoRetro, and all you're missing is the management's approval to go Premium. We've got a lot of experience with that. Over time, we noticed that the questions you might get from them are similar, so we gathered some answers here. You can simply copy-paste and hit send.

We warmly recommend attaching this nice deck to the email you sent to your managers - they will love it. 😇

Why should we go Pro with GoRetro?

Hi <manager>,

While I was looking for ways to improve the team’s communication and support our scrum efforts for continuous improvement, I found GoRetro, a tool for managing all agile processes, including running fun and engaging retrospective meetings, and it was a perfect fit!

With GoRetro I can easily collect feedback from the team, breaking the ice to get them comfortable to share their thoughts, and generating and tracking meaningful action items. It helped increase the participation and as a result, we’re able to get more feedback and act upon it as a team.

I checked and found that GoRetro is already ISO-certified, GDPR-compliant, and SOC 2 Type-2 certified so it shouldn’t be an issue to pass our security requirements. They provide top-tier support and can help us onboard more teams.

The pricing makes it a no-brainer since the price per team for the whole year is less than a team outing. You can check out the details here.

The GoRetro team is very responsive and is happy to hop on a call to share more info. We can schedule a time to talk to them here. They also shared this doc that might explain it better.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your reply.

Best Regards,

<hopeful facilitator🤗>
