What is Scrum Poker?

Scrum Poker is a collaborative estimation tool used by agile development teams to estimate the effort or relative size of development tasks. It's also known as Planning Poker.

How it Works

Create or join a room: Start a new estimation session or join an existing one
Discuss the task: Team members discuss the user story or task to be estimated
Vote simultaneously: Each team member selects their estimate privately
Reveal votes: All votes are revealed at the same time to avoid bias
Discuss and re-vote: If there's a large variance, discuss and vote again

Benefits

Eliminates anchoring bias in estimation
Encourages team discussion and knowledge sharing
Provides more accurate estimates through collective wisdom
Helps identify risks and dependencies early
Makes estimation process more engaging and fun

Features

🃏 Real-time voting - Vote simultaneously with your team
⏱️ Built-in timer - Keep discussions focused
📊 Vote statistics - See averages and distribution
📱 Mobile friendly - Works on all devices
🌙 Dark mode - Easy on the eyes
🔒 Privacy focused - No data stored on servers

Card Values

This tool uses the modified Fibonacci sequence for estimation:

0 ½ 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ? ☕

? = Need more information
☕ = Need a break

Tips for Better Estimation

Start with a well-defined user story
Discuss assumptions and dependencies
Consider complexity, not just time
Use relative sizing rather than absolute time
Don't overthink - first instinct is often right
Re-vote if estimates vary significantly
