If you only open Miro for retrospectives, Scrumlo is the lighter, faster path: a guided flow from brainstorm to grouping to voting to discussion, in one link, with no account and nothing kept.

| In one shareable link | Planning poker, retro, polls and word clouds, team health, roadmap, picker, timer. | General whiteboard, retros via templates |

Why teams pick Scrumlo
- Built for the ceremony. A real retro flow with phases, a timer and a spotlight, not a blank canvas you have to assemble every time.
- Nothing to clean up. No board library filling your account. The room disappears when the team leaves.
- Free, not freemium. No editor or member limits gating the parts that matter.
FAQ
Is this a full Miro replacement?
No. Miro is a general whiteboard. Scrumlo is purpose-built for sprint ceremonies. If retros, estimation, polls and health checks are why you open Miro, Scrumlo does those better and free.
Do we need accounts?
No. Share one link and teammates join with a display name. There is no workspace to create.
What happens to the board after?
It is deleted when the room empties. Export Markdown, PNG or PDF first to keep the outcomes.
Everything, in one link
The same room runs planning poker, retrospectives, polls and word clouds, anonymous team health checks, a Now, Next, Later roadmap board, a random picker wheel and a shared timer. Free, no login, nothing stored.
