We've made some major updates to Metro Retro over the last few months, which we call "V3".
If you've been migrated to the new version, or are about to be migrated, this page explains the updates as well as differences to the old version.
Dashboard Look and Feel
Workspaces are now Teams
Template Library Updates
Changes to Inviting Guests
New Feature: Action items
New Feature: Mentions
New Feature: Automated Templates (Planning Poker, Tshirt Estimation, and Sprint Planning)
Updated Admin screens
The new dashboard doesn't just look prettier, it also provides:
Dedicated Team spaces
Improved template library
Action tracking
Notifications
Better Team Member management
Admins and Owners can create Teams.
Create a Team to store boards and invite your team members.
Teams are private, you must be invited to join a team.
All members of a Team can create, edit and delete boards.
All members should be allocated to (at least) one team.
You can invite anyone in your Organization to an individual board in your team space, without them having to join your Team.
The Template browsing experience has been improved.
It is easier to create custom templates that are available to all Organization members.
You can "star" your favourite templates.
There is now a different link for inviting external guests to your board.
This link can be found in the Share Menu of each board. Anyone who is not an Organization member will need to use this Guest link, not the board link in the URL.
An external guest is anyone who is not a member of your organization in Metro Retro.
Guests must now sign up to Metro Retro to join a board. There is no anonymous guest access.
You can still easily invite your organization members to your board by sharing the board link.
You can now create Action Items directly from your sticky notes, and track them in your team space.
See the Actions feature pages for how to create and track them:
You can now Mention your colleagues by typing "@" into any sticky or card. They will get a notification in the App (and soon by email).
See more details on the Mentions feature page:
We have built new automated templates for Poker Planning, T-Shirt Estimation, and Sprint Planning. These use custom-built components to improve how you run these team sessions.
Preview the Automated Templates:
Admins and Owners now have better visibility and management over the boards, people, and teams in the Account. Go to your Admin panel to see the updates.
You will remain on your current plan and feature set. Your billing will not be affected.
