Spreo

Spreo is an online whiteboard designed for agile teams to run structured meetings and collaborative sessions. It's built for sprint planning, retrospectives, brainstorming, workshops, and any session where a team needs to generate ideas, make decisions, and track outcomes together in one place.

The tool works for distributed teams, hybrid setups, and co-located groups. You get a blank canvas with templates to jump-start common activities like planning poker, retrospectives, goal-setting, roadmap reviews, and team alignment sessions. The interface is straightforward enough that teams adopt it without formal training.

Key capabilities include:

• Private writing to capture ideas without bias before revealing them together.
• Sticky notes that you can create anywhere on the board to capture thoughts quickly.
• Voting and polls to prioritize or gauge team opinion.
• Topics to group related stickies into clusters.
• Actions to turn any note into a tracked task with an owner and due date.
• Comments for in-context discussion without cluttering the board.
• Frames to structure a meeting into focused activities.
• Zones to organize the canvas into areas that auto-color stickies.
• Connectors to map relationships between ideas.
• Shapes and markers for sketching diagrams and annotating freehand.
• Reactions and gestures for real-time feedback and presence.
• Jira integration to pull backlog issues onto the board and sync updates back automatically.

Spreo connects directly to Jira so teams can work with their backlog on a visual board instead of a static list. Connect your Jira instance once through team settings, then pull issues into any session to discuss scope, priority, and effort together. Stories can be estimated with Fibonacci or T-shirt sizing, and any sticky note can be converted into a Jira issue on the spot. Two-way sync keeps everything current, so estimates and new issues flow back to Jira automatically with no manual follow-up after the meeting.

The tool includes over 100 templates created for common workflows, so you don't start from scratch. It's free to try for 30 days with no card required. Spreo is GDPR compliant and built for security. Used by large distributed teams (including organizations with 500+ engineers) and trusted by product, engineering, and agile-focused companies.
