## What it is
Parabol is an open-source collaborative workspace for running structured agile team meetings such as retrospectives, sprint poker, standups, and check-ins, with real-time multiplayer boards and a public GraphQL API. It can be self-hosted on Node.js + PostgreSQL + Valkey, including in air-gapped environments, and integrates with Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, and Azure DevOps.

## Use cases
- run online agile retrospective meetings for remote teams
- facilitate sprint planning poker with story point estimation
- run async standup meetings with recurring prompts
- create issues in Jira or GitHub directly from meeting outcomes
- self-host a meeting tool in an air-gapped enterprise environment
- collaboratively document decisions in real-time meeting pages

## When to choose
- your agile team needs structured retrospectives, planning poker, or standups in one tool
- you must self-host or run in air-gapped/on-premise environments for security or compliance
- you want meeting outcomes pushed automatically to Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, or Azure DevOps
- you need a free tier for small teams with real-time multiplayer boards

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose video conferencing or whiteboard tool rather than structured agile meetings
- your team does not follow agile ceremonies and only needs simple chat or notes
- you require a fully permissive open-source license for redistribution (license is custom)
