What is Niko Niko?

Niko Niko comes from Japanese and roughly means ‘smiling’ or ‘cheerful’ — which is exactly what the tool measures: the team’s daily mood. Every team member gives a quick rating of how they feel, once a day. No form, no meeting. One click.

The name refers to a popular agile practice where teams track their mood physically on a wall calendar. Iterr makes that practice digital, privacy-safe and insightful across the whole sprint.

How does Niko Niko work in Iterr?

Team members log in at app.iterr.eu and pick their mood for the day: happy, neutral or sad. An optional comment adds context. Votes can still be changed until midnight.

Iterr aggregates the scores into a heatmap calendar covering the entire sprint. You see the team average per day; your own vote is shown as an overlay on the days you voted. You keep personal ownership, while the team pattern stays readable.

Privacy by design: individual scores are only shown aggregated from a minimum of three votes per day, in line with the GDPR.

What do you use Niko Niko for?

  • Spotting energy dips in a sprint early
  • Giving insight to RTEs and POs who coach multiple teams
  • Objective backing for a check-in or an adjustment of the sprint plan
  • Making team wellbeing discussable without making it personal

Who is it for?

Niko Niko is primarily meant for team members, Scrum Masters, RTEs and POs who want an early signal when team energy drops — and who prefer to act on data rather than assumptions.
