Why LetRetro exists

When I worked at NVIDIA, I was literally feeling lag. Maintaining kanban boards, tracking tickets, organizing everything — it was a constant drag. I was deep into building, testing, and attending stand-ups. The last thing I wanted was to document everything and maintain the sprint spirits.

And I wasn't alone. Most of the engineering team felt the same way. This created a gap — between the engineering team and the product team. Engineers focused on shipping code, product wanted visibility and documentation. The bridge was missing.

That's when I built a kanban board to simplify retrospectives — for the engineering team and the product team alike. I showed the MVP to my senior product manager. He looked at it and said, “Hell, now it's time for documentation.”

I didn't want to spend hours curating templates. So I built templates that auto-document everything — from retro to post-mortem docs, summary docs, keep on track reports. I built LetRetro to be cool for engineering and useful for product.

It works. We started in July 2025.
