If you are migrating from the old version of Metro Retro, then start here.

Dashboard Updates

What a pretty dashboard.

The new dashboard doesn't just look prettier, it also provides:

  • Dedicated Team spaces

  • Improved template library

  • Action tracking

  • Notifications

  • Better Team Member management

Teams & How They Function

Navigate team spaces from the dropdown in the left menu

Workspaces are now called Teams. As part of the migration, each workspace will become a Team, with the same boards and members.

  • Admins and Owners can create Teams.

  • Create a Team to store boards and invite your team members.

  • Boards must be created in a Team

  • 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.

Changes to Board Management

As of the latest version, all boards must be in a team. This means that you can no longer create a board without a team. Any existing boards that were not created in a team will be highlighted in the UI (see screenshot below). We recommend moving these to an appropriate team to keep them safe.

Template Library Updates

The updated Template Library

  • 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.

New Feature: Action Items

Create actions from stickies on your board, and track them in your team space

  • 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:

New Feature: Mentions

Mention colleagues with @

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).

New Feature: Automated Templates

Blind voting in Poker Planning

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:

The old Poker Planning template that uses playing cards is deprecated. Use the new Poker Planning template instead.

Updated Admin Screens

Admins can Manage the Teams, People, Boards, Security, and Billing.

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.

Changes to Plans & Billing

Your plan & billing remains the same through the migration.

You will remain on your current plan and feature set. Your billing will not be affected.
