Improve your sprint planning with agile estimation poker
Run seamless agile estimation sessions with your distributed team. Story-by-story facilitation flow with real-time collaboration and consensus building.
Align fast with clearer estimates
Say goodbye to manual calculations and messy tallies. TeamRetro’s agile estimation helps teams find common ground — fast.
Create alignment
Get everyone on the same page before work starts — with structured rounds and reveals.
Build delivery confidence
Turn “I think” into shared clarity — so your plan matches reality more often.
Reduce uncertainty
Surface assumptions, risks, and unknowns early — so you avoid surprises mid-sprint.
Start estimating and agile planning in minutes
Transform your sprint planning and backlog grooming sessions with guided facilitation, anonymous estimates and easy team engagement.
Create a clean, focused list easily
Pull items from retros, health checks, or your backlog — or import straight from TeamRetro, Jira, Azure, GitHub, or Linear — and keep everything in sync with your source of truth.
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. Flexible anonymity options let you build safety or accountability.
Discuss each item to gain more data
Ensure everyone understands the requirements, scope, and acceptance criteria. Run polls, give kudos and use live reactions for real-time feedback. Keep discussions focused by parking items or creating follow-up actions and team agreements.
Estimate privately — free from bias
Cards remain hidden until everyone is done to prevent anchoring bias. Choose from a library of estimation decks that fit your team’s style or life cycle.
Reveal results and agree on a final score
View all estimates at once to spot alignment or gaps. Surface risks, clarify requirements, and uncover assumptions — then re-vote to reach consensus and lock in the final story points together.
Share results and sync with workflow tools
Get a complete summary of final estimates for sprint planning and backlog prioritisation. Sync estimates to Jira, Linear, GitHub, and your project tools, and export meeting notes to Confluence, Slack, and more — so everyone stays aligned.
Engage more with the team
Throw in an icebreaker to kick things off, a check-out question to get feedback on delivery confidence, or run quick polls.
