Today marks an exciting milestone in our company’s evolution. We’ve changed our name! Read on for why…
As a name, Metro Retro served us very well for the first six years, reflecting our roots in retrospective meetings. But as we’ve grown and expanded our capabilities, our name no longer captures the full scope of our platform, or where we’re headed.
Metro Retro is now called Ludi!
Derived from the Latin word for “games” or “play,” Ludi embodies the interactive, engaging, and collaborative spirit that defines our platform. We’ve expanded on what we originally built for retrospectives so now our customers are use us in many more meeting types. Having our name associated with retros made less sense as time went on.
We’re about creating productive and enjoyable collaboration through thoughtful design and playful interaction.
Ludi meetings are interactive experiences where participants collaborate meaningfully instead of sitting through endless presentations. No more “screenshare and yawn”.
What Ludi Means for Our Future
This rebrand reflects our product expansion beyond retrospectives. Ludi represents our evolution into a comprehensive collaboration platform that makes teamwork more engaging, more human, and more effective.
The name Ludi captures several key aspects of our philosophy:
Playfulness: Work doesn’t have to be boring. Great collaboration happens when people feel comfortable and engaged.
Learning: Every interaction is an opportunity to grow, both individually and as a team.
Connection: The best outcomes emerge when people truly connect with each other and their work.
What Can You Do With Ludi?
Ludi can be used for any type of meeting or workshop but our focus has always been on building the best collaboration platform for software development teams. That’s why you find so many great templates and features specifically built for agile processes, Scrum teams in particular. Some of the ways our customers use Ludi are:
- Project & product planning
- Sprint planning
- Backlog estimation & forecasting
- Retrospectives, reviews and post-mortems
- Team Health checks
What’s Changing (And What Isn’t)
What’s new:
- Our name, logo, and visual identity
- An expanded vision for collaboration beyond retrospectives
What remains the same:
- Your existing accounts, data, and workflows remain unchanged
- Our team and values that have driven us from the beginning
- Our dedication to making remote collaboration feel more human
Moving Forward Together
This rebrand to Ludi is a recommitment to our customers and our mission. We’re excited to continue building tools that bring teams together, foster collaboration, and make work more engaging for everyone.
