Planning poker

Planning poker is a helpful way to estimate your work - but the real value is the conversation it creates. When team members explain how they see a piece of work and where the risks and challenges lie, everyone leaves with a richer, shared understanding of what's involved. The estimate your team lands on is a useful output; the shared understanding is what makes the work go smoothly.

Easy Agile TeamRhythm offers two ways to run planning poker:

  • Planning poker in the Jira issue view - discuss and estimate one work item at a time from a panel on the work item you're viewing. Available on Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center.

  • Facilitated Planning Poker EARLY ACCESS - work through your backlog together in a live, shared session. See who's in the room and who's still to vote, reveal everyone's cards at once, and save agreed estimates straight back to Jira.

Facilitated Planning Poker is available for Early Access on Jira Cloud. If you'd like your site to have access, contact the Easy Agile Support Team.
