Sprint Retrospective

Talk through the sprint, get a retro map.

Before a retro you usually replay the sprint in your head — what worked, what dragged, what to change. Overscope lets you say that out loud and get a structured map of wins, problems, and action items to bring to the team.

Why speaking beats typing here

Reflection flows better spoken than typed — you naturally narrate the sprint from start to finish and the friction points surface as you go. Speaking captures the honest version before you self-edit it into a tidy but incomplete list.

How it works

  1. Hold to speak and walk through what went well, what didn't, and what you'd change next sprint.
  2. Overscope structures it into branches for wins, problems, and proposed changes.
  3. Switch to the cluster layout to group related issues and tap to turn changes into clear action items.
  4. Trim or rename nodes, then export a PNG to bring to the retro.

What you get

  • Replay the whole sprint by voice instead of staring at a board.
  • Separate wins, problems, and changes into distinct branches.
  • Use the cluster layout to group related issues together.
  • Turn vague frustrations into concrete action items by tapping nodes.
  • No audio is recorded or uploaded — your retro stays a private map.

Speak your honest take on the sprint and Overscope turns it into a structured retro you can walk the team through.

Sprint Retrospective — FAQ

Before or after the meeting, hold the button and talk through what went well, what didn't, and what to change. Overscope structures your reflections into a map live, grouping them with layouts like cluster or org so themes stand out. Tap to edit nodes and export the result as a PNG to bring into the team discussion.
No. Overscope has no shared editing or real-time collaboration; it's a single-user iPhone app. It works well for one person to prepare or capture their own retro thoughts, then share the exported PNG.
No. Overscope is push-to-talk only and never always-listening, and it doesn't record audio. Meeting mode is planned for v1.1, but Overscope still won't save recordings or transcripts.
