Meeting software for agile ceremonies, for remote teams.

Visit Parabol

Parabol is a meeting platform for agile ceremonies, covering retrospectives, Sprint Poker estimation, standups, and team check-ins. It structures discussions with templates, timers, discussion threads, and anonymous input, and captures takeaway tasks that can be synced to backlog tools. Meetings can be run asynchronously, with participants contributing on their own schedule.

Core features include a virtual whiteboard, Kanban taskboard, 40+ meeting templates, automated meeting summaries, Team Health checks, built-in icebreakers, and CSV export. Integrations cover Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Azure DevOps, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Mattermost, and Google Calendar, with SAML SSO and on-prem hosting available on higher tiers. It runs in the browser as a mobile-first app.

Parabol is aimed at agile teams and facilitators working remotely, in-person, or hybrid. It is packaged as a free Starter plan for up to 2 teams with limited meetings and history, a seat-based Team plan billed monthly per active user, and a custom annual Enterprise plan with organization-wide controls.
