Scrum poker

Planning poker without the rooms and the accounts. Hold a card up to the camera, or pass one device around the table and reveal together.

Pick a card
Deck

Fibonacci for story points, T-shirt sizes for rough sizing, or type your own deck. The choice is remembered on this device.

On a call, everyone holds a card up to the camera. In a room, pass one device around, then reveal.

Honest about what this is

Most planning poker sites give you a synced room on their server: everyone votes on their own device and the site collects the votes. This page deliberately does not. There is no server, no room code and no account, which is precisely why nothing your team types here ever leaves the device it was typed on. In exchange, it leans on the two ways teams estimated before the internet got involved, and both work remarkably well.

On a video call

Everyone opens this page, picks their card, and the card fills the screen big enough to hold up to a webcam. The facilitator counts down, everyone lifts their device, and the estimates land simultaneously, which is the entire point of the game: the first number spoken out loud always drags the rest toward it. Full screen mode makes the card readable even on a small phone held at arm's length.

Around one table

Switch to pass-the-device mode and one phone does the whole round. Each person picks a card in secret, the vote hides itself behind a holding screen, and the phone moves on. The reveal lays every card out with the average and the spread, and highlights the highest and lowest votes, because the conversation with the outliers is where the real estimate gets made. Revealed rounds are kept in a history on the device so the numbers can be read back into the ticket at the end.

For the rest of the office party

When the sprint is planned, the countdown timer keeps the retro on schedule, the spinning wheel picks who runs standup, and the scoreboard settles the table tennis league. All free, on the tools page.
