Retro action item tracker for Jira

Action items
that don't die.

Retros are easy. Follow-through isn't. Resurface turns retro & sprint action items into owned, due-dated Jira issues that resurface until they're actually done.

The problem

Great retro. Then the action items vanish.

Every retro ends with a tidy list of things to fix. Two weeks later, half of them are gone — no owner, no due date, nobody chasing them — and you're writing the same ones down again. Resurface makes sure that doesn't happen.

How it works

Capture. Resurface. Prove.

One job, done well — right where the work already lives, in Jira.

🎯

Every item gets an owner & a deadline

Mark any Jira issue as a tracked action item with an enforced owner and due date, tagged by source: retro, sprint, or manual.

🔔

Overdue items resurface — automatically

A scheduled nudge comments on the issue and notifies the owner, and a carry-over count shows how often a task has slipped.

📊

Prove follow-through

Closure rate, average age, overdue count, % carried over, and repeat slippage by owner — the accountability view for team leads.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does Resurface work with my existing retro tool?

Yes. Resurface is tool-agnostic — it works alongside any retrospective app because it tracks action items as native Jira issues. There's nothing to switch.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Resurface is built on Atlassian Forge and carries the "Runs on Atlassian" badge, so your data never leaves Atlassian Cloud.

Is it really free?

It's free for up to 10 users. Above that, it's billed per user through the Atlassian Marketplace — no separate account or card needed.

How is this different from a retro board?

A retro board helps you run the meeting. Resurface handles what happens after: it makes sure action items get an owner and a due date, resurface when overdue, and actually get closed.
