Why Planning Poker
Engineering Managers need estimation tools that support facilitation, not fight it. Host controls, clear visuals, and instant setup let you focus on guiding the conversation instead of managing the technology.
Whether you're coaching a team through their first planning poker or running your hundredth session, the mechanics should be invisible. Our tool handles the voting so you can handle the people.
Good facilitation is about reading the room, managing energy, and knowing when to push discussion versus when to move on. You can't do any of that if you're debugging a tool or explaining how to join a session. Simplicity in tooling translates directly to space for facilitation.
The best sessions are the ones where nobody remembers what tool you used - they just remember the great conversation and the alignment they achieved. That's what we optimize for.
How It Works
Create a Room
Start a new planning poker room in one click. No signup required - just enter your name and you're ready.
Invite Your Team
Share the room link or QR code with your team. Everyone joins instantly on any device.
Add Stories to Estimate
Enter the user stories or tasks you want to estimate. The host controls the flow of the session.
Vote Simultaneously
Everyone selects their estimate privately. When ready, reveal all cards at once to see where the team stands.
Discuss and Align
When estimates differ, discuss the reasoning. Re-vote if needed until the team reaches consensus.
Key Benefits
Save Time
Stop wasting time with inefficient estimation methods. Get your team aligned quickly with simultaneous voting and instant reveal. Most teams complete their backlog estimation in under an hour using our streamlined approach.
Improve Accuracy
Leverage collective team wisdom. Multiple perspectives lead to more realistic estimates and better sprint planning outcomes. When developers, testers, and designers all contribute, estimates capture complexity that individuals miss.
Build Consensus
Facilitate productive discussions about complexity. When estimates differ, teams naturally discuss their assumptions and align their understanding. This shared context prevents misunderstandings during implementation.
Zero Friction
No accounts, no installations, no credit cards. Share a link with your team and start estimating within seconds. The simplicity removes barriers to adoption - any team can try planning poker today.
