This one covers about two months, so it is longer than usual. Most of it lands in two places: the page that shows how your team is doing, and the way your team connects to Linear, Jira and Slack.

A clearer team health page

The team insights page is laid out as eight sections, all open at once, so you can read it top to bottom without expanding anything. It covers how often you meet and who turns up, how notes turn into action items, whether those action items get done, what drives your score, and the themes that keep coming back. The session history lists every finished session with its name and format, and vote counts are included in the numbers.

The page remembers which team you were looking at when you refresh, and a link takes you back to the app.

Help choosing a format

On Pro+, a "Help me choose" link sits next to the format list on the dashboard and on the templates page. Write a sentence or two about what you want the session to achieve, and you get a recommended format, usually with a second one to compare it against, and a short reason for each. Picking one takes you to session setup, so you still decide.

Integrations belong to the team

Linear, Jira and Slack are connected per team, from the team's settings page, and that is the only place to do it. The team page shows that team's own connection, and two teams can be linked to two different Linear or Jira workspaces. When a connection needs attention, the team page shows a button to reconnect it, and after connecting you land back on the team page you started from.

Links posted to Slack, Jira and Linear open the session they are about. The Slack post at the end of a session carries the same summary as the recap, and its link goes to the recap page, which anyone in the channel can read.

Recaps

Notes on the recap page show the category they were written in, so a grouped theme reads the way the room saw it. The summary on the recap is formatted the way it was written. Anyone reading a recap gets an invitation to run a session of their own.

A timer everyone can see

The discussion timer is shared by the whole room. Every participant sees the same countdown, and it keeps time on its own, so it is still right when the facilitator's laptop wakes up from sleep.

The Free plan

Free has no limit on team size, and keeps your sessions for 90 days. On the dashboard, the formats you can use on your plan come first in the list.

Getting started

You can sign up and start a session straight away. Your team is created along with your first session, and people who join someone else's session become part of that session's team. Participants can join any session without verifying their email first. If you sign up from an invite link, you end up in the session you were invited to.

Facilitators can discard an unfinished session from the dashboard, which is handy for the one you made to try something out. Finished sessions stay part of your team's history.

A new front page

The front page has a new layout. Joining with a session code takes one box at the top, the formats each get a card, and a four-step strip shows how a session runs. The latest news posts are linked at the bottom.

Smaller things

  • In Lean Coffee, moving on opens the next topic in the queue.
  • Emails have proper buttons, and every link in them opens the page it names.
  • The welcome email lists the formats that are actually available.
  • Layouts adapt to phones and narrow windows.
  • Stage badges are easier to read in the light theme.
  • On mobile, the Team tab opens your team's settings.
