Planning Poker ® window provides access to all unplanned stories with support for:

  • move around the backlog stories that are not started yet

Planning Poker ® can be used during the estimation meeting. Team members select the story to estimate. Scrum master set time for poker round and then click button Start. The timer starts running and the clock will be displayed.

During this time every team member estimates the size of the story. After the clock hides, they can start to talk about their estimation.

The result on which they agreed is entered by clicking on the planning card button or entered directly as own value.

After the button has been clicked, the size of the selected story is set to a given number and the product backlog is divided into three lists displayed at the bottom of the window: smaller stories, equal stories, and larger stories.
