I have been using Parabol for both backlog refinements and retrospective meetings. The best features about Parobol from my experience so far: 1) templates: the ability to customize and modify accordingly to individual team needs, 2) Jira tickets can be added into the tool and a seamless experience for updating story points through Parabol 3) the ability to create teams within Parabol, 4) summary via email: reduces the effort to take meeting notes and distribute post meetings, 5) ice breakers: every time I would have to pull ice breakers for retros, but this solves the hazzle, 6) individual progress markers during retros! Overall, a very pleasant experience. I also love that it gives an overview of the team tasks which reduces the effort to track action items, making it a self managed system!

The ability to let our organization come together, brainstorm and discuss matters while also able to let our members comment anonymously on the platform. We get genuine feedback this way.

The process itself, it helps us bonding and figuring out problems with ease.
