How to Use Story Point Poker
- 1
Create a Session
Enter a session name, choose your estimation scale (Fibonacci, T-shirt, or custom), and add the user stories or tasks your team needs to estimate. Configure optional settings like anonymous voting and auto-reveal timers. - 2
Invite Your Team
Copy the shareable link or let teammates scan the QR code. Participants join instantly in their browser with no signup or download required. The session connects everyone via real-time peer-to-peer technology. - 3
Vote on Each Story
Each team member independently selects their estimate for the current story. Votes remain hidden until the host reveals them, preventing anchoring bias. Use keyboard shortcuts (1-9 to vote, R to reveal) for faster rounds. - 4
Review Results and Finalize
After votes are revealed, review the average, median, vote distribution, and any outliers. Discuss significant differences, re-vote if needed, then set the final estimate. Export all results when the session is complete.

Why use Story Point Poker?
Story Point Poker is a free, real-time estimation tool designed for agile teams that need to size user stories, tasks, and bugs without scheduling synchronous meetings. Built on peer-to-peer WebRTC technology, it connects team members instantly through a shareable link — no accounts, no downloads, and no data leaves your browser. Whether your team follows Scrum, Kanban, or a hybrid methodology, Story Point Poker streamlines the estimation process that is critical to accurate sprint capacity planning and reliable delivery forecasts.
The tool supports multiple estimation scales including Fibonacci, Modified Fibonacci, T-shirt sizes, Powers of 2, and fully custom scales. Anonymous voting eliminates anchoring bias, while the auto-reveal timer keeps rounds moving at a productive pace. After each story, the results dashboard shows average, median, vote distribution, and outlier analysis so your team can quickly identify disagreements and reach consensus. When the session is complete, export everything to CSV, Excel, JSON, or Markdown for easy import into Jira, Trello, Linear, or any project tracking tool.
Story Point Poker works especially well alongside other agile planning utilities. Use the Dev Request Prioritizer to rank your backlog before estimation, run a Retrospective Meeting after each sprint to improve your process, and track accumulated complexity with the Tech Debt Register. Together, these tools give distributed teams a complete, free agile planning toolkit without vendor lock-in.
How It Compares
Most online planning poker tools require paid subscriptions for teams larger than a few members, mandatory account creation, or store your session data on their servers. Story Point Poker on FindUtils takes a fundamentally different approach: it is completely free for unlimited participants, requires zero signup, and keeps all data in your browser using peer-to-peer connections. There is no server storing your estimation data, which makes it ideal for teams working on sensitive or proprietary projects.
Compared to tools like PlanITPoker, Pointing Poker, or Scrumpy, FindUtils Story Point Poker offers real-time synchronization, QR code sharing, keyboard shortcuts for faster voting, anonymous mode, customizable reveal timers, and comprehensive export options — all without hitting a paywall. The trade-off is that the session host must keep their tab open since there is no central server, but for most teams this is a minor consideration compared to the privacy and cost advantages.
