What is Scrum Poker?

Scrum Poker — also known as Planning Poker — is a consensus-based, gamified technique that Agile and Scrum teams use to estimate the effort of user stories. Each team member privately selects a card from a modified Fibonacci deck (0, ½, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100, "?", ☕). Votes stay hidden until everyone is ready, and then the facilitator reveals all of them at once. The spread sparks a short conversation about hidden assumptions and scope, after which the team re-votes until it converges on a single story-point value.

This free, real-time Planning Poker app is built for distributed Scrum teams who care about reaching an honest estimate fast — with no sign-up and no decks to shuffle. Start a free Planning Poker session or join an existing room with a code.

How to run a Planning Poker session

  1. Create a room. Click Start a session to generate a private room with a short join code.
  2. Invite your team. Share the code in Slack, Zoom chat, or your sprint-planning calendar invite. Participants join anonymously with just a display name.
  3. Discuss the story. The facilitator reads the user story or pastes a Jira ticket so everyone has the same context.
  4. Vote privately. Each participant taps a Fibonacci card. Votes are encrypted in transit and hidden from the rest of the room until the reveal.
  5. Reveal together. One click flips every card at the same instant. Outliers explain their reasoning.
  6. Re-vote. Reset the round and vote again until the team agrees on a single estimate. Push the result back to Jira if you've connected it.

Features built for modern Agile teams

  • Real-time voting over Supabase Realtime — WebSocket updates so the team sees presence, votes and reveals the moment they happen.
  • Hidden votes until simultaneous reveal, enforced at the database layer with row-level security so the vote table never leaks values to other participants.
  • Modified Fibonacci deck — 0, ½, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100, plus "?" for unknowns and ☕ for break requests — the Mike Cohn scale that most Scrum teams already use.
  • Jira integration via OAuth 2.0 to import sprint backlogs and push agreed estimates back to the Story Points field on your issue tracker.
  • Anonymous join — no accounts, no email, no tracking.
  • Up to 50 participants per room — comfortably covers any single Scrum team, including stakeholders.
  • Installable PWA with an offline shell so the app feels native on desktop and mobile.
  • Dark and light themes that respect prefers-color-scheme and prefers-reduced-motion.

Frequently asked questions

Is Scrum Poker free?

Yes. You can create rooms and run estimation rounds for free — no credit card and no sign-up required. Start a session in one click.

Do I need an account?

No. Participants join anonymously with a display name. Supabase anonymous auth keeps each session secure without asking for an email.

How many people can join a room?

Up to 50 participants per room. The cap protects realtime performance and is enforced at the database level — plenty of headroom for any single Scrum team plus stakeholders.

Which estimation scale do you use?

The Mike Cohn modified Fibonacci scale: 0, ½, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100, plus "?" for unknowns and ☕ to request a break — the de-facto standard for Agile story-point estimation.

Does it work for remote and distributed teams?

Yes. Scrum Poker was built for remote-first teams. Votes, presence and reveals propagate over WebSockets in milliseconds, so a team split across Berlin, Bangalore and Boston estimates as one room. Join with a room code from anywhere.

Can I install it as an app?

Yes. Scrum Poker is a Progressive Web App. Choose "Install" or "Add to Home Screen" in any modern browser to launch it as a standalone app with offline support.
