● Data-driven retrospectives

Retrospectives on real flow metrics from Jira

Sprintlens turns your Jira issue history into clear metrics — Lead Time, Flow Efficiency, bottlenecks — and runs the team retro in real time: a board on everyone's screen, voting and warm-ups. Decisions on facts, not feelings.

Jira Cloud and corporate (Data Center)Read-only accessLive retro for the whole team
How it works

Three steps to a data-driven retro

Connect Jira

A secure connection to your Jira instance. Tokens stay on the server, read-only access.

Collect metrics

Pick a team and a sprint — Sprintlens builds flow metrics from the issue history in seconds.

Run the retro

Discuss the data, collect cards and action items. Decisions on facts, not feelings.

Jira connection

Works with your Jira — cloud and corporate

Two ways to connect. Both are read-only: tokens are encrypted and stay on the server.

Corporate Jira Data Center / Server

On-prem

Sign in with a Personal Access Token, with Sprintlens deployed inside your company's network.

  • Sign-in: Personal Access Token (Bearer)
  • Self-hosted REST API v2
  • Sprintlens on-prem — data never leaves your perimeter

Jira Cloud

Cloud

Connect with your Atlassian account email and an API token.

  • Sign-in: email + API token
  • Atlassian REST API v3
  • Metrics from your Jira cloud in seconds

In both modes access is strictly read-only: Sprintlens never writes to your Jira. Tokens are encrypted (AES-256) and kept on the server only.

How it looks

Real screens, real metrics

Live from the demo — you'll see the same data for your team after connecting Jira.

Flow analysis

The Cumulative Flow Diagram and time-in-status reveal the bottleneck — here it's Code Review.

Epic analysis

Each epic's contribution to flow: Lead/Cycle Time, progress, time per status and blockers.

Retro board

Columns, voting and action items. Cards with metrics are pulled in automatically.

Security

Your data stays in control

Security by default: per-organization isolation, read-only Jira and encrypted secrets.

Read-only Jira

Sprintlens only reads issue history and never writes to your Jira.

Token encryption

Jira secrets (API token / PAT) are encrypted with AES-256 and kept on the server only.

SSRF guard

The Jira address is checked before every request — loopback, private and metadata addresses are blocked.

Per-organization isolation (RLS)

Each organization's data is isolated at the Postgres database level (Row-Level Security).

Realtime isolation

Live retro, presence and activities are visible only within your organization.

Sessions and SSO

Sign-in via an HttpOnly session, with optional SSO — Google, Atlassian, GitHub.

An honest comparison

The same retro — minus the busywork and the guesswork

Hours on exports, Excel and Miro, and the decisions still come down to gut feel. Sprintlens removes the prep, puts facts at the center — and brings the team back into the conversation.

Retro by handWith Sprintlens
PrepYou burn an hour or two before the meeting on Jira exports, Excel formulas, screenshots and assembling a Miro board.Pick a team and a sprint — metrics and the board are ready in seconds. You show up light, not with a report you built overnight.
DataArguments run on memory and gut feel — whoever's loudest wins. The numbers are stale before the call even starts.Lead/Cycle Time and bottlenecks straight from Jira issue history. The argument ends the moment a fact shows up.
ParticipationOne person "drives" the screen and types for everyone — the rest scroll their phones in silence.A board on everyone's screen: everyone writes, votes and moves cards at once. Nobody's left quiet in the corner.
EnergyA duty call for the sake of it and a formal "all good". Nothing to bring the meeting to life."Spy", the mood check-in and the wheel turn retro into a meeting people actually look forward to.
OutcomeAgreements sink into chat and notes — by the next sprint nobody remembers them.Action items with owners and due dates, and anomalies drop onto the board as cards by themselves. Nothing gets lost.
ProgressComparing sprints and teams is nearly impossible — there's simply no single history.Trends across sprints show how the team changes from one retro to the next — progress you can see, not just sense.
Flow analytics

Everything to make retro change team behavior

From raw Jira data to concrete decisions. Metrics, bottlenecks and trends in one tool.

Flow metrics from real Jira

Lead Time, Cycle Time, time in each status and throughput — computed from the issue transition history (changelog), not guessed.

Bottlenecks at a glance

The Cumulative Flow Diagram and a per-status breakdown show where work gets stuck — Code Review, QA or waiting.

Flow Efficiency and health

A flow-health index and the share of active vs waiting time — one look at the team's state.

Trends across sprints

Lead Time dynamics (median, p85, p95) and throughput over closed sprints — see whether the team is improving.

Epic breakdown

Each epic's contribution to flow: Lead/Cycle Time, progress, time per status and blockers — instantly see which big piece of work is slowing the sprint.

Auto-observations → retro cards

The system highlights anomalies and adds them to the retro as cards in one click. Nothing gets lost.

Live retro

The whole team in one retro — in real time

A board on everyone's own screen, votes and cards in sync, and warm-ups that turn a call into a real meeting.

A retro on everyone's screen

A live board over WebSocket: cards, columns and any change appear for every participant instantly. No more one person "driving" a single screen.

Together and at once

As you type a card others see "who's typing", votes are counted per participant, drag-and-drop columns and a "who's online" list.

The "Spy" game

A detective warm-up: the server deals roles privately to each player, a shared timer, and a discussion and reveal at the end. Everyone plays from their own device.

Mood check-in

Everyone marks their mood at the same time — you get the team mood and a breakdown. A quick warm-up without "pass the laptop".

Wheel of fortune

A random participant picker — who speaks next or who gets the task. The facilitator spins, the result is the same for everyone.

The facilitator runs the session

With one button the facilitator starts the retro and launches activities — they open for the whole team in sync, in one rhythm.
