Planning Poker (also known as Scrum Poker) is a consensus-based, gamified estimation technique used by agile teams to estimate the relative effort of product backlog items. Each team member privately selects a card representing their estimate, then all cards are revealed simultaneously to spark discussion and reach a shared agreement on story points.

Quick answers about planning poker, scrum estimation, and how Simple Planning Poker works.
Create a free room, share the link with your team, and start estimating. Everyone votes privately using the modified Fibonacci deck (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21) plus a question mark and a coffee cup card. Once all votes are in, the host reveals the cards. The app calculates the average and suggests a consensus value so the team can move forward quickly.
Yes, completely free. There are no paid plans, no premium features, no credit card, and no hidden limits on rooms or participants. We built this as a free tool for agile and scrum teams.
No. Just enter a name and start playing. There is no sign-up, no email required, and no password to remember. Your name is stored locally in your browser only.
There is no fixed limit. The app uses real-time WebSockets and works smoothly with typical scrum teams (5 to 15 members) and larger groups too.
We use the modified Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21) plus a question mark (?) for unknown items and a coffee cup for break requests. This is the most widely adopted scale in agile estimation.
Yes. Other players only see that you have voted, not your value. Cards are only revealed when the room host clicks the Reveal button, ensuring no one is influenced by others votes.
No. Rooms are ephemeral and chat messages are never persisted. Once the room owner closes the room or every participant leaves, all votes, chat history, and presence data are discarded. Nothing is sent to a database, and there are no analytics on individual votes.
Yes. Simple Planning Poker is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops. It is ideal for hybrid and remote teams running sprint planning meetings.
