Frequently asked questions

Simyl Flow is the outcomes platform for engineering teams navigating change. We measure what ships and sticks — connecting planning poker → standups → demos → retros → coaching into one flow, with health scores that show whether your changes are working.

Sprint Flow is our name for the connected delivery flow: Plan (poker) → Execute (standups) → Review (demos) → Reflect (retros) → Grow (coaching). Everything flows together — estimates feed standups, blockers surface in retros, coaching notes build context, and health scores show whether your changes are working.

Start with a 30-day free trial of all Growth features. No credit card required.

We offer 5 templates: Start/Stop/Continue, Went Well/Didn't Go Well, Mad/Sad/Glad, 4Ls (Liked/Learned/Lacked/Longed For), Custom.

Absolutely. Many teams start with just retrospectives on our Free plan. When you're ready to connect your full delivery flow—planning poker, standups, and coaching—you can upgrade anytime. Retros work great standalone.

We combine project management data with code repository data to provide real metrics, not just sticky notes. AI analyzes actual sprint data to generate insights.

Import items from Jira, Linear, CSV, Screenshot (AI extraction). Vote together in real-time, then push estimates back to Jira/Linear/Shortcut/GitHub Issues/GitLab Issues/Notion/ClickUp with one click.

Standups auto-generate activity summaries from your connected integrations—commits, PRs, and closed issues. AI condenses each developer's work into a clear update. Add blockers manually and track them to resolution.

Yes. Switch to Live Standup mode for real-time facilitation with automatic presenter rotation and timers. On Growth plans, you can also enable built-in video conferencing with smart auto-mute — no Zoom link needed.

Video conferencing is built directly into the standup board. Only the current presenter is unmuted — everyone else is auto-muted with clear feedback. Facilitators can cut mic or extend time with one click. Available on Growth plans (1,500 attendee-minutes/month) and Enterprise (unlimited).

Blockers added during standups flow into retrospectives automatically. AI identifies patterns across the team and can surface recurring blockers for discussion.

AI generates private coaching notes for each developer after retrospectives. Notes are visible only to you and your manager (if configured). They accumulate across sprints to track growth patterns.

Effectiveness scores measure developer outcomes across 6 dimensions: Delivery, Flow, Quality, Collaboration, Ownership, and Adaptability. Scores are private by default and based on sprint data, not activity tracking.

We integrate with Jira, Linear, Shortcut, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues, Notion, ClickUp.

We support GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab.

We track 6 core metrics: Velocity, Cycle Time, PRs Merged, Commits, Bug Rate, Unplanned Work.
