Agile teams, scrum masters, and product owners looking for an engaging, customizable, and integrated tool to improve sprint estimation and planning discussions
About Planning Poker
Planning Poker is a collaborative estimation tool designed to help agile teams create better sprint plans, improve estimation accuracy, and foster healthier team dynamics. It supports both remote and in-person teams by enabling lively, anonymous voting that sparks meaningful discussions around story scope and effort. Users can easily import stories from popular project management platforms like Jira or add new stories on the fly. When estimates differ, the team discusses to reach consensus before finalizing votes, ensuring alignment and clarity. The platform allows exporting estimates and notes back to project management tools for seamless workflow integration. With customizable scoring and timers, Planning Poker adapts to your team’s unique needs.

Tempo Portfolio Manager
Tempo Portfolio Manager (formerly LiquidPlanner) is a dynamic project scheduling and resource management platform that uses predictive AI to forecast when work will realistically be completed. Its scheduling engine runs Monte Carlo simulations using team bandwidth, task priorities, and ranged estimates to deliver completion forecasts with up to 90% confidence. Automatic resource leveling adjusts schedules instantly when priorities shift or team availability changes, highlighting bottlenecks and preventing burnout. By modeling uncertainty with ranged estimates rather than a single guess, it replaces static plans that are out of date the moment they are saved. Teams plan, predict, and optimize complex portfolios across the entire organization from a single workspace. Portfolio Manager is part of Tempo's broader Strategic Portfolio Management portfolio spanning planning, resourcing, cost, and reporting for delivery-focused organizations.
