Hmm, I don't really understand this. How is this used on real teams? Doesn't having an unhappy face next to your name signal "I AM A PROBLEM EMPLOYEE"?

You can create anonymous teams, also the unhappy face would be only a preview, since you can segment individual user charts (Even anonymised) into 5 different data points and events that have been tracked and locate problems quite efficiently.

We use it in our small distributed team (Transparently) and it helps us figuring our when we have an issue worth discussing in depth.

You can anonymise it on larger teams and use it to figure out what actions may have made your team less happy, etc..

Hey there,

I'm part of the team that built Retroospect. Teams can be selected to be transparent or anonymous. Users who are invited on anonymous teams will not have their identity associated with the data - you will simply be team member 1. We see this as valuable for exactly the reasons you cited - to ensure that honest feedback is always given - something we feel doesn't always happen anonymity isn't catered for.

Yeah, that was my first thought too. Clicked on it, saw the negative labels, then left. I'd never use it. Don't want to call negative attention down on myself.
