Delta Board

A lightweight tool for running retrospectives with small teams.

C#, JavaScript πŸ“„ MIT ⭐ …

Delta Board is a minimalist tool for running lightweight team retrospectives without the bloat of enterprise collaboration software.

What it does: Delta Board recreates the simplicity of sticky notes and a whiteboard for remote teams. It provides an anonymous space where team members can share what went well and what could be improved (the β€œdelta”), then facilitates discussion without unnecessary features getting in the way.

Why I built it: After years of running retrospectives with my engineering team, I found that while the ritual itself is simple and valuable, the tools were often heavy, noisy, or overbuilt. I wanted something privacy-conscious and intentionally minimal that stays in the background and lets the conversation take center stage.

Why it’s delightful: It respects the ritual. No user accounts, no bloat, just the essentials needed for honest team reflection. Anonymous contributions encourage genuine input, and the stripped-down interface means teams spend time thinking about their work rather than wrestling with the tool.
