Visual Retrospective Generator (beta)
As we had to delay the launch of Scrum Solutions until 11th August we didn't want our customers to think that we had forgotten about them.
While the rest of the team are busy working on iOS, Andriod and Win mobile projects, I was busy listening to my followers and by far the most popular article on my site was the article and code for generating the Visual Retrospective. At the time I had promised to write an application that will help you generate the visual retrospective.
That application is now ready (admittingly in beta, while I sort out some of the format defects).
Visual Retrospective Generator
MediaWiki Retrospective Example
[Download]
The application allows you to output your retrospective's in the following formats;
- HTML - Visual retrospective wall
- HTML - List style
- MediaWiki
- XML
- CSV
- PNG
The application will allow you to output to multiple formats in 1 click, useful for generating a visual retrospective as well as keeping your PM happy with a CSV formatted list 
. For what all the options do read the READ ME Visual Retrospective Generator text file that's included in the package.
Quick start tip: Check HTML and check the 'Copy support files' to generate your first Visual Retrospective.
Once I (or the team, nod, nod, wink, wink) have fixed the defects there are some other features in our product backlog for this, I'll post a new blog each time its updated.
And one final thing, this tool is free and will always be free. The only time there will be any costs is for companies wanting to integrate the tool (through its API) into their solution or if a commercial company wants to remove the Scrum Solutions logo or link.
Requirements: .NET 4, Windows XP/Vista/Win 7
