The free scheduling poll for retrospectives
Timespree is a free retrospective scheduler that finds a slot the whole squad can make. Share one link, everyone shades when they are free, and the availability heatmap surfaces the best retro time so you run it while the sprint is still fresh.

Why scheduling this is hard
A retro loses its value if it slips days past the sprint end and everyone has forgotten the details.
You need the full squad plus the scrum master in the room, and one missing voice skews the discussion.
Distributed squads span time zones, so a slot that looks fine can quietly land after hours for someone.
How the poll works
Create your poll
Pick the dates and time range you want to offer. Your shareable link is ready in under a minute.
Share one link
Send it wherever your group already talks. Nobody needs an account to respond, on any device.
Read the heatmap
Every response shades the grid. The darkest slot is your time. Done.
Why Timespree fits
Book it before the sprint fades
Spin up a poll on the last day of the sprint, collect availability in minutes, and hold the retro while the work is still fresh.
Get the whole squad, not a quorum
Everyone shades their free times on one grid, so you can spot the slot that captures every engineer, the PM, and the facilitator.
Time zones handled for you
Each squad member fills the grid in their own local time and Timespree converts automatically, so nobody ends up in a 9 PM retro.
No sign-up to respond
Contractors and new hires mark availability from the link with no account, so nobody is blocked from weighing in.
A real example
A nine-person engineering squad across Toronto, Lisbon, and Krakow wraps a two-week sprint. The scrum master posts a Timespree link in the team channel on Friday, and everyone shades their free hours in their own time zone. By Monday the heatmap shows a dark band at 3:00 to 3:45 PM Toronto time, the one window that works for all three cities, and the retro is booked.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I schedule a retrospective the whole team can attend?
- Create a Timespree poll for the days right after your sprint ends and share the link in your team chat. Everyone marks when they are free, and the heatmap highlights the slot that captures the most people, so you can book the full squad in minutes.
- Does the scrum master need an account?
- No. Anyone with the link marks availability right away on any device. An optional account exists only for an organizer who wants to keep several sprint polls in one place.
- Can it work for a remote squad in different time zones?
- Yes. Each person fills the grid in their own local time and Timespree converts automatically, so the slot you land on is a genuine common time and never an after-hours retro for someone.
