MuchSkills VS RemoteRetro

MuchSkills is a skills and strengths visualization tool that helps individuals and teams look into their skills in a new way to improve productivity, engagement and job satisfaction by matching the right person for the right project. At the core of MuchSkills is the belief that every individual strives to work with what they love doing. MuchSkills allows people to showcase exactly that to the world.

MuchSkills was born after we realized that though the way we work has changed, the way we look at skills management hasn’t. We needed a tool that helped people and organisations manage skills better. The lack of such a tool meant that people working in the same team or organisations weren’t always aware of each other’s skills and skill sets. This causes unbalanced work allocations for projects and bloated teams among other things, all of which leads to escalated costs, decreased productivity and unhappy employees and clients. MuchSkills is the modern skills visualization software we wish we all had: designed to help individuals and teams get a more transparent understanding of their core strengths.

An online retro board, that everyone can log into.

Start up a video call on Google Meet, Zoom, Skype, or whatever tool you already use, and open RemoteRetro in your browser. Throw it up on a tv/screen/projector, and have the remote team members join in and everyone is guided by a facilitator. Or, if your team doesn't have any remote team members, use it to like a scribe to keep a record of the sprint/iteration's retro items.

In building RemoteRetro, we used it to run retrospectives on the progress of the development of it. We've built the tool to scratch our itch, to solve our problem. We hope to help other teams also run excellent agile retrospectives, where every team member feels heard and included.
