Frequently Asked Questions
What is story point poker?
Story point poker (or planning poker) is an estimation technique where team members independently estimate the effort for user stories. Each person votes without seeing others' votes to avoid anchoring bias, then votes are revealed and discussed.
What scale should I use?
Fibonacci is most popular because the increasing gaps reflect uncertainty in larger estimates. T-shirt sizes work well for quick, high-level estimates. Modified Fibonacci includes 0 and fractional values for very small or uncertain items.
What do I do when votes differ significantly?
Large vote spreads indicate different understandings of the work. Have the highest and lowest voters explain their reasoning, clarify requirements, then vote again. Convergence usually happens quickly.
How do I share with my team?
Click 'Copy Link' after creating your session. The link uses peer-to-peer technology—votes sync in real-time between all participants. The session creator must keep their tab open (they're the host). No accounts or sign-ups required.
