4 The team votes

The vote link opens the vote page: no account, in 8 languages. Each team member picks a score and may add a comment; until the survey is closed, they can change their vote from the same browser.

Meanwhile, the team's card shows the number of votes, next to its usual participation.

5 Close the survey

When the team has voted, f.e. on the retrospective's day, click Close the survey on the card and confirm: no more votes, the results are ready.
