Planning Poker
Free Planning Poker Tool for Agile Teams
Estimate stories as a team with real-time hidden card selection and simultaneous reveal. Fibonacci, T-shirt sizes, or custom decks. Consensus detection built in.
• Built for distributed sprint planning and refinement
• Hidden votes reduce anchoring bias before discussion
• Consensus detection keeps facilitation moving
Built for real Scrum teams
Practical ceremony tools with the controls facilitators need and the low-friction joining experience teams expect.
Hidden card selection
Every teammate chooses privately before reveal. That keeps the first loud estimate from anchoring the rest of the group.
Simultaneous reveal
Reveal estimates at the same time after everyone votes. The spread immediately shows where assumptions differ and where discussion is needed.
Flexible decks
Use Fibonacci, T-shirt sizes, powers of 2, or a custom deck. Teams can keep the estimation scale that already matches their planning process.
Consensus detection
ScrumTool detects matching votes and suggests an estimate when the team aligns. Facilitators can focus on discussion instead of manually scanning cards.
