Agile Poker
Participants cast their estimates in Story Points, defining how much work is involved in the story. All votes are private until each participant has voted. Estimates are then revealed, and discussion can begin again. This method sorts issues into buckets based only on their relative size. During collaborative unbiased voting, the team sets rough estimates, discusses, and selects the most accurate estimate for each backlog item. This mode is perfect for all distributed teams that want to estimate at various times and prefer estimations based on consultation. Alternatively, Async Poker could be an introduction to the interactive phase. Agile Poker is a flexible planning toolkit that provides four collaborative estimation methods that support refinement, sprint planning, PI planning, and prioritization based on the team's needs, experience, or backlog size. This mode is perfect for all distributed teams that want to estimate at various times and prefer estimations based on consultation.
