Retro: what should the team keep? Anonymous approval vote
In a retrospective, the honest signal is what people would keep if nobody were watching. List the practices, and each person approves the ones worth keeping — the Shortlist method — anonymously. The result shows support per item, so 'keep the daily stand-up' at 9 of 10 stands next to 'keep the Friday demo' at 3 of 10, and the team can act on it.

How it works
- Shortlist — Approve or reject each option.
- Sealed ballots — results are revealed when the round ends.
- Collects opinions — no required outcome.
- Anonymous — Nobody can see who voted what — before or after.
