We offer multiple default estimation scales including the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...), Modified Fibonacci and T-shirt sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL). You can also create custom card sets to match your team's preferred estimation scale. Learn more about setting up custom card sets in our knowledge base.
By default, rooms are public and accessible via URL for maximum convenience. The generated room IDs are unique and are difficult to guess. For teams requiring additional privacy, you can enable password protection or restrict access to organization members. We only store the minimum amount of data required to provide the service and encrypt all data in transit and at rest.
As a Scrum Master, start by ensuring all participants understand the user story and acceptance criteria before voting. Use our timer feature to keep discussions focused, and leverage the statistics feature to prompt meaningful discussions about estimate differences. For distributed teams, use our video integration features to maintain face-to-face communication. Check out our Scrum Master's guide for more facilitation tips.
Planning poker, also called scrum poker or pointing poker, is a consensus-based, gamified technique for estimating, mostly used to estimate effort or relative size of development goals in software development.
In planning poker, members of the group make estimates by playing numbered cards face-down to the table, instead of speaking them aloud. The cards are revealed, and the estimates are then discussed. By hiding the figures in this way, the group can avoid the cognitive bias of anchoring, where the first number spoken aloud sets a precedent for subsequent estimates.
When played online, members are together in a real-time estimation "room" or "session" and their cards are displayed on the screen. The same rules apply, but everything is more convenient and automated.
A planning poker session is usually around 30 minutes, and is led by a Scrum Master or team lead. The game allows each member to contribute to project planning and encourages lively discussions.
The game can be played with different card sets which denote story points or developer hours, depending on the team's taste. Card sets can be configured when the game starts.
This is a free, open-source application developed as a hobby project. It is running on Google Cloud servers hosted in the EU. The app is free to use with monthly credits that can be refilled if you use the app often.
