What it is
Planning Poker is a web-based estimation tool for agile and Scrum teams planning sprint work together. Participants submit anonymous estimates; the results are revealed for discussion, and teams can estimate again until they reach agreement. Teams can import stories from Jira or enter them during planning, then export estimates and notes to project management tools. Scoring scales and timers can be customized. The free Basic plan supports up to 5 players per game, with four pointing scales, a customizable timer, editable score average, and printable results; it is ad supported. Paid Standard supports up to 10 participants per game, and Pro supports up to 50. Both paid tiers include Jira integration, custom pointing scales, CSV or XML imports, and ad-free use. Standard costs $14.95 a month or $150 a year; Pro costs $49.95 a month or $498 a year. Prices are charged per game organizer. New accounts start with a free 14-day trial of Planning Poker Pro. The privacy policy says story, task, and work item information is encrypted in the database using AES-256-CBC with HMAC-SHA-512 authentication.
