Planning projects is difficult, especially when you are working remotely. The usual SCRUM setup must be familiar to many software engineers — planning meetings, stand-ups, and retros. During a planning meeting, teams estimate projects/cards while sitting around a table and showing hands-on the count of three. This worked well before the pandemic, but it's not so efficient in the remote world. It's no longer easy to tell what the consensus is and it is easy to mess up the countdown and fall victim to bias by seeing other teammates’ votes before revealing your own.


This app moves the planning meeting into your Zoom window, allowing you to vote and find consensus easily.


What is planning poker?


Planning poker, also called SCRUM poker or pointing poker, is a consensus-based, gamified technique for estimating, mostly used to estimate the effort or relative size of development goals in software development. In planning poker, members of the group make estimates by playing numbered cards face-down to the table, instead of speaking them aloud. The cards are revealed, and the estimates are then discussed. By hiding the figures in this way, the group can avoid the cognitive bias of anchoring, where the first number spoken aloud sets a precedent for subsequent estimates.
