Planning Poker

Anonymous, real-time story estimation — right where the work lives. Everyone votes privately, the cards flip together, and the agreed value writes straight back to Jira. Any number of teams can run their own sessions at once, and there are no accounts to set up.

Planning Poker — a round in progress with the issue and its context in the middle, players and a vote-progress bar on the right

A round in progress — the issue and its context in the middle, the queue on the left, players and a "3 of 5 voted" bar on the right. Your own card is highlighted; everyone else's stays hidden.

Highlights

  • Estimate what you like — pick a deck (Fibonacci, powers of two, or T-shirt sizes) and point at a project backlog, a saved filter, or JQL. Those issues become an ordered queue you walk one at a time.
  • Truly anonymous — no one sees anyone's vote until the reveal, not even the facilitator, and everyone's cards flip at the same moment.
  • Context that stays fresh — show read-only Jira fields (Description, Acceptance Criteria…) on each card; if someone edits the issue in Jira, the change appears here within seconds.
  • One-click write-back — once you agree, save the value to Story Points (or any field) as you, respecting your Jira permissions. It finds the right field automatically.

Reveal, then apply

Planning Poker after the reveal — the vote distribution with suggested value, average and range

After the reveal — the vote distribution with suggested value, average and range. The facilitator can apply the agreed estimate and move to the next issue in one click.

Every session that estimated something is kept for 90 days in a sortable, filterable History, so you can revisit what a team decided and when.
