REAL-TIME PLANNING POKER · 001
Estimate together,
not against
each other.
Pick a tile. Reveal at the same time. Talk about the spread. Re-vote once you understand why someone said 8 and someone else said 2.
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
- Create a room. Click Start a session to generate a private room with a short join code.
- Invite your team. Share the code in Slack, Zoom chat, or your sprint-planning calendar invite. Participants join anonymously with just a display name.
- Discuss the story. The facilitator reads the user story or pastes a Jira ticket so everyone has the same context.
- Vote privately. Each participant taps a Fibonacci card. Votes are encrypted in transit and hidden from the rest of the room until the reveal.
- Reveal together. One click flips every card at the same instant. Outliers explain their reasoning.
- 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-schemeandprefers-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.
