PARABOL: Remote Retrospectives // Online Meetings // Distributed Collaboration
Parabol is a remote retrospective and meeting app that generates automatic insights about team performance from online collaboration activity. Our software allows distributed, cloud-based teams to run meetings from anywhere, across time zones, in real time or asynchronously. Team notes and tasks are automatically rolled into a meeting summary which is instantly posted to the team timeline and emailed to stakeholders. Teammates can also export their tasks to Jira, Confluence, Github, or Slack. Parabol also analyzes meeting data to generate powerful leadership insights about what’s holding your team back, and how to unlock better performance.

"Parabol helped us successfully redirect an initiative that spans 9 counties in 3 states, and includes over 600 stakeholders. It was an effective and enjoyable introduction to digital transformation." — Tatiana Orlov | Sr Program Manager, National Parks Conservation Association
“I was blown away at how smoothly the meetings ran. People held themselves accountable and things got done.” — Joseph Rosenfeld | SVP FP&A @ Dow Jones
“Parabol has transformed our organization. We needed a strong platform to lead us out of ingrained hierarchical mindsets. It was the change of scenery we needed.” — Megan Sheridan | Program Mentor @ iMatter
“We tried Parabol to retool the way our leadership operates and it’s been great. In 4 weeks we were running like a top: priorities and accountabilities are clear, and frankly, our meetings have been a lot more enjoyable.” — Adam Pisoni | Founder & CEO @ Abl Schools
“Parabol was key to unlocking performance on our leadership team. Our meetings went from business-as-usual to focused, fun, and productive. Each week we know where we are, where we’re going, and who’s responsible for each step.” — Ian Myers | General Manager, Platform @ Quartz
