Retrospectives
Real retros, not just a sticky note board
Run structured retrospectives that actually lead to change. Anonymous cards prevent groupthink, live voting surfaces what matters, and grouped themes make action items obvious.

Planning Poker
Story estimation without the anchoring bias
Cards stay hidden until everyone votes, so no one anchors off the first number they hear. Auto-reveal, built-in timer, and a story queue keep sessions moving.
Fibonacci, T-shirt sizes, or fully custom card decks
Auto-reveal when all participants vote
Story queue — paste in your backlog and work through it in order

Action items
Actions that actually ship — not just sticky notes
Most retro tools dump action items into a column and forget them. RetroRail tracks them through their lifecycle, ships them straight into Jira with one click, and carries the still-open ones forward to the next retro so the team always opens with a clear picture of what shipped.
Status lifecycle: open, in progress, done, dropped — tracked per action
One-click promote to a Jira issue with project / type / description
Carryover into the next retro with a 'Carried over' lineage badge
Header strip on every new retro: 'Did our last retro's actions ship?'

Capacity overviews
Workload that's real, not just point totals
Pull live workload from any Jira board into a per-person view: ticket counts, story-point totals, status breakdown, stale-ticket warnings, WIP-limit indicators, and an 'available vs committed' calculation that factors in PTO, allocation, focus, and historical velocity.
Four source modes: full board, active sprint, pinned sprint, or backlog
Per-person capacity inputs — PTO, allocation %, focus factor, velocity
'Use historical velocity' pre-fills from the last three closed sprints
Share an overview with the whole team, read-only — no recreate work
