What is Scrum Poker?
Scrum Poker, also known as Planning Poker, is a collaborative estimation technique used by agile teams to estimate the effort required to complete tasks. During a Scrum Poker session, team members use a deck of cards with values representing the effort or complexity of a task. Each team member selects a card privately, and then all cards are revealed simultaneously. This process encourages discussion and helps the team reach a consensus on the task estimation. Scrum Poker promotes active participation, reduces the influence of dominant voices, and leads to more accurate and reliable estimates. It is an essential tool for agile teams aiming to improve their planning and delivery processes.
Choose Your Preferred Set of Values for Planning Poker
With the flexibility to choose from several pre-defined sets of values, teams can align with their preferred estimation approach. In addition, Easy Planning Poker goes a step further by allowing participants to customise their own set of values, ensuring a truly personalised experience. This customisation capability allows teams to tailor the estimation scale to their specific needs, maximising accuracy and efficiency in task estimation.
Simplified Task Estimation with Jira XML Import in Easy Planning Poker
Easy Planning Poker simplifies the task estimation process by providing a convenient feature that allows users to import tasks in XML format. This feature allows the loading of XML files that have been previously exported from Jira, making task information easily accessible during estimating sessions. By loading XML files directly into Easy Planning Poker, teams can avoid the need to keep multiple tabs open or switch between different applications. This streamlines the estimating workflow, allowing teams to focus on accurate estimates without the hassle of managing multiple open tabs. Experience a smoother and more efficient estimating process with the XML import feature.
Optimize Results with Easy Planning Poker's Grouping Function
Improve collaboration and organisation with Easy Planning Poker's grouping feature. Divide participants into designated groups, such as QA, developers and designers, to streamline estimating. Simply click on the menu that appears when you hover over a participant on the estimate page, and assign a colour to indicate their role. When the estimation cards are flipped over to reveal the results, they will be clearly divided into groups. This functionality ensures clarity and efficiency, allowing teams to focus on their specific areas of expertise and contribute effectively to the estimation process.
