How it works

Three rituals, one predictable cadence.

Pick the ones you want. Cadence posts them in Slack on your schedule, collects responses privately, and publishes a clean summary when the window closes.

01 — Sprint retro

Async retros that end on time.

Three standard prompts — or your own. Responses are private until the window closes, then summarized in Slack with themes, top votes, and action items.

What went well
Ship-train discipline finally stuck+7
New on-call rotation worked+5
Design reviews twice a week+3
What didn't
Staging env flaky for 3 days+6
Too many scope changes mid-sprint+4
Waiting on procurement+2
02 — Sprint check-in

Midsprint, no meeting needed.

Tuesday 10am: "What's blocking you?" posted in-channel. Replies thread privately to the lead. Unblock before Thursday's standup.

03 — Monthly pulse

Team health, trended.

Four questions, four seconds to answer, once a month. Anonymous scores trended over time so you spot drift before people start leaving.

What's inside

Small surface. Real craft.

Cadence does a few things carefully. Here's what you get the day you install it.

Slack-native threads

Installs in a click. Works in any channel. No one has to leave Slack to participate.

Custom schedules

Sprint-aware, calendar-aware, timezone-aware. Runs on yours, not Cadence's.

Auto-summaries

Themes clustered, votes aggregated, action items assigned. Posted back to your channel.

Linear & Jira sync

Action items become tickets in one click. Every ritual leaves a trail.

Private by default

Responses are private until the window closes. Anonymous mode for pulses.

Multi-team rollups

For heads of eng: monthly rollup across squads without managers uploading spreadsheets.

Why teams stay
"We've tried three retro tools. Cadence is the first one that actually made the team's rituals stick — because the team doesn't think of it as a tool. It's just the thing that happens in our channel on Fridays."
