Interested in playing Planning Poker® to estimate your user stories or product backlog but feel you can't because your team isn't all in the same building? If so, try our online version of Planning Poker® explicitly made for distributed teams. (But even collocated teams have reported using it for occasional fun.)
The online version provides everything you need to get the same benefits of this wonderful estimating technique. A moderator adds the items to be estimated in advance of or during the session. The moderator creates a unique URL that is shared with estimators who should also be on a conference call or IM session. Each estimator sees his or her set of cards and selects an estimate by clicking on it. Once all estimators have made their selections all cards are turned over at once and everyone sees the values. The moderator can accept that as the estimate if all values are the same or estimators can repeat until they agree.
Best of all—it's completely free and your data is completely confidential.
Playing Planning Poker® the old-fashioned way? You can order decks of planning cards from us.
