— Pre-built retros, framed by your favourite films

Pick a method.
Pick a movie.
Run a retro your team will remember.

RetroCast creates a themed retro board that you drag straight into Miro or Figma. Your retro method, staged in the world of a film your team loves, with your teammates cast in the scene. The team adds their own stickies during the meeting.

Built for product, engineering and design teams, agile coaches, and anyone who runs a regular retrospective.

1 Step one — Method

Choose how the team will reflect.

Sprint retro. Project postmortem. Pain & solutions. Health check. Quarterly review. Each method has its own question structure, voting affordances, and sticky-stack layout.

  • 6 retro methods, from Sailboat to KALM
  • Method picks the question structure of the board
  • Pair any method with any of the 34 films
See all methods
Retro method cards: Sailboat, Mountain Climber, Hot Air Balloon, Starfish, Four L's, Mad / Sad / Glad, KALM
2 Step two — Movie

Choose the world the retro lives in.

The movie sets the tone, the palette, the stage dressing. A pain-points retro inside The Matrix feels different from the same retro inside Oppenheimer, and that difference changes what people are willing to write.

  • Every background is an original still inspired by the film's world. Homage, never screenshots

3 Step three — Cast

Cast each teammate into the scene.

Drop in your team. Each person becomes a character in the frame, name floating beside them, positioned in the world of the movie. They show up before the meeting starts just to see who they got cast as.

  • Add up to 12 teammates per board
  • Re-roll the cast until everyone's happy
  • Photos stay private to your account, are used only to render your board, and are deleted when you are. Privacy policy

4 Step four — Render

Drop the board into Miro or Figma.

RetroCast renders a complete board: the cast scene as the canvas, prompts laid out beside the right cast members, an empty sticky stack ready to go. Download, drag onto Miro or FigJam, run the retro.

  • One file. No plugin. Works on every Miro and FigJam plan.
  • Empty sticky stack: your team writes in-session
  • Stickies go on the frames — see how it runs

— Why retros fail

Most retros are forgettable.
Yours doesn't have to be.

The board is blank, the prompts are stale, and somebody has to facilitate. The same three voices fill the column. The same vague action items get assigned. Two sprints later nothing's changed.

— The pattern

The plate is the canvas. Your team brings the stickies.

The set is dressed, the cast is in frame, the prompts are pinned. The sticky stack is intentionally empty: the whole point of a retro is what your team writes on the day. We just make sure the room is worth showing up to.

01 / Empty board

Forty minutes of setup before anyone says anything real.

The facilitator builds the board live while everyone watches. Energy gone before the first sticky.

02 / Tired prompts

"Start, stop, continue." Nobody has anything new to say.

The same three columns every fortnight. The team has answered them already, even if they haven't typed it.

03 / One facilitator

One person runs it. The team disengages.

Cameras off, multitasking on. The retro becomes a meeting that happens at the team, not with it.

04 / Three voices

The loud people fill it.

Anonymity is theatre when only three voices ever post.

05 / Same faces, same takes

The team stops expecting it to matter.

By month three, "retro" lands in the calendar like a tax return.

— Asked on set

Frequently asked.

Everything teams ask in the first week. Anything we missed? Drop us a line.

Is the output a real Miro or Figma board, or just an image? +

It's a high-resolution board image, not an editable template. You drag it onto any Miro or FigJam board and it becomes the canvas: title frame with the agenda, one themed frame per retro category with the prompts in place, and an action-items frame. Your team adds normal stickies on top of the frames during the meeting. Here's the three-step guide.

Do I need a Miro or Figma plugin? +

No. Drag the file onto your board and the whole scene appears. Works on every Miro and FigJam plan.

Are the sticky notes filled in for me? +

Stickies are not prefilled. They're added in Miro or FigJam by your team: the plate is finished, the prompts are placed, but the writing happens during the session. That's the whole point of a retro.

What does it cost? +

Your first board is free. After that you buy credit packs: one credit renders one full board, retries included, starting at $5 for three. No subscription, and credits never expire. Full details on the pricing page.

Can I bring my own movie? +

Yes — request one via the contact form and we'll usually have it in the library within a few days. New films are added regularly.

Is there a limit to the number of retros I can generate? +

One credit renders one complete board, and every retry, lead swap and re-roll inside that board is included. Buy as many credits as you need; they never expire.

Are the backgrounds real movie screenshots? +

No. Every frame is an original, AI-generated still inspired by the film's world: its palette, era and atmosphere. Homage, never screenshots. RetroCast isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any studio, and boards are for your team's internal use.
