Start estimating and agile planning in minutes

Transform your sprint planning and backlog grooming sessions with TeamRetro’s Agile Estimation Poker.

Create a clean, focused list easily

Add items for estimation in a few clicks, or import them directly from Jira, Github, or Linear and keep everything consistent with your source of truth. Build a clean estimation queue and keep your team focused on one item at a time.

Invite your team into a safe, secure space

Bring everyone into the same agile estimation flow—instantly.

Everyone sees the same estimation items in real-time and stays
focused on the current item being estimated. Add ice-breakers, check in questions and meeting context to set the tone for your meeting and build psychological safety.

Discuss each item to gain more data

Begin by discussing the user story or task to ensure everyone
understands the requirements, scope, and acceptance criteria. Run polls, share kudos and use live reactions for real time feedback as teams engage around the topic.   Keep discussions focused by parking items or creating follow up actions and team agreements.

Estimate privately – free from bias

Estimates remain anonymous and hidden until everyone has submitted.This prevents anchoring bias and ensures every voice contributes to more balanced, accurate estimations.  Choose from a library of estimation decks that fit your teams style or life cycle.

Review results and sync with workflow tools

Review all final estimates in one comprehensive summary, ready for sprint planning and backlog prioritisation. Synchronously push estimates to Jira, Linear, Github, and other project management tools to keep your backlog in perfect sync. Export meeting notes and decisions to Confluence, Slack, and more for full team visibility.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about agile estimation poker.

What is agile estimation poker?

Agile estimation poker (also known as planning poker) is a consensus-based estimation technique used by agile teams to estimate the effort or relative size of development tasks. Team members vote privately using cards, then reveal simultaneously to avoid anchoring bias and encourage discussion.

How does anonymous estimating prevent bias?

When estimates are hidden until everyone is done, team members make independent judgments without being influenced by others’ opinions. This prevents anchoring bias where people tend to gravitate toward the first number mentioned, leading to more accurate and unbiased estimates.

Which estimation deck should my team use?

The fibonacci sequence is most popular as it reflects increasing uncertainty in larger estimates. Scrum deck adds half-values for granularity. T-shirt sizes work well for high-level backlog grooming. Choose based on your team’s preference and the level of precision needed.

What does the coffee card (☕) mean?

The coffee card signals that someone needs a break or the discussion is taking too long. It’s a lighthearted way to keep estimation sessions energized and acknowledge when the team needs to pause or table an item.

What happens when estimates differ significantly?

Large differences in estimates are valuable! They reveal different assumptions, hidden complexity, or risks. The team discusses why the highest and lowest voters chose their numbers, clarifies requirements, then votes again with shared understanding.
