Planning poker
Planning Poker is a popular Agile estimation technique that helps teams estimate the effort required to complete tasks or user stories. It encourages collaboration and honest discussion by having team members select effort estimates privately and reveal them simultaneously.
This method reduces bias, sparks valuable conversations, and leads to a more accurate and shared understanding of the work ahead.
About AgileBox Planning Poker
AgileBox provides two types of Planning Poker to accommodate various team needs: Project Poker and Custom Poker.
Project Poker is the default option, enabling teams to estimate issues within a single project. It is perfect for teams focused on delivering work scoped to specific projects.
Custom Poker allows teams to create Planning Poker sessions that include issues from multiple projects. This feature improves efficiency and collaboration for teams that handle work across different projects, avoiding the need to switch contexts during estimation.
