Scrum Poker - Online Scrum Estimation Tool

Welcome to Scrum Poker, the ultimate online tool for agile teams to perform accurate and efficient project estimation using the popular Scrum Poker technique. Whether you're a Scrum Master, product owner, or development team member, Scrum Poker can revolutionize your estimation process and enhance collaboration within your Scrum team.

What is Scrum Poker?

Scrum Poker, also known as Planning Poker, is a collaborative estimation technique used in Scrum projects. It replaces traditional time-consuming estimation meetings with a fun and interactive game-like approach. Scrum Poker helps teams estimate the effort required to complete user stories, backlog items, or tasks using relative sizing (story points). By assigning story points to each item, the team gains a shared understanding of the effort involved and the relative complexity of different work items.

How Does Scrum Poker Work?

1. The Scrum Poker session begins with the Scrum Master or facilitator presenting a user story or backlog item to the team.
2. Each team member, including developers, testers, and other stakeholders, privately selects a card representing their estimate of the item's complexity. The cards typically feature numbers representing story points or Fibonacci sequence values.
3. Once everyone has made their estimation, all team members reveal their cards simultaneously.
4. The team discusses any significant differences in estimates, aiming to reach a consensus.
5. The process is repeated for each item until the entire backlog is estimated.
