Fast Scrum planning poker with standard rooms, anonymous joining, and peer-to-peer mode.

Scrum planning poker is a consensus-based estimation technique used by agile teams to estimate relative effort, complexity, and scope. Each participant chooses a card privately and all cards are revealed together so that early spoken numbers do not bias the group.

This implementation is different from many public Scrum planning poker tools because it is designed around a Privacy First approach: no account creation, optional anonymous participation, and an available peer-to-peer mode for teams that want less server involvement in live sessions.

What makes it different

Privacy First by design

The product is built for lightweight collaboration. Teams can create a room immediately, share the direct game URL, and begin estimating without onboarding friction or identity requirements.

Gameplay data is not intended to be stored permanently on the server. Browser-side storage and cookies may still be used for preferences and session continuity, while peer-to-peer mode can further reduce server involvement during active estimation sessions.

How it works

Standard rooms or peer-to-peer rooms

Managers can create a standard room or choose peer-to-peer mode. Standard rooms keep the familiar flow for teams that want simplicity. Peer-to-peer rooms allow the manager to host the live game state while the server handles room discovery and signaling.

This gives teams flexibility: use the simplest option on an internal network, or choose a configuration that better matches your privacy and infrastructure preferences.

What is Scrum planning poker?

Estimate without anchoring bias

In Scrum planning poker, participants vote privately using a shared card deck. After everyone has selected a card, the votes are revealed together. The goal is not just to produce a number, but to surface assumptions, clarify scope, and discuss why estimates differ.

This makes it useful for backlog refinement, sprint planning, and collaborative estimation sessions where teams want a faster and fairer way to evaluate work than open verbal estimation.

Mobile experience

Usable also on phones during real meetings

The interface is designed so teams can join, vote, reveal, and continue the session from mobile devices without needing a desktop-only workflow. This makes it practical for remote calls, quick check-ins, and ad hoc estimation while away from a laptop.

Room controls

Configurable rooms for different team styles

Managers can tailor the room to the way their team works: auto-reveal, countdown animation, timer behavior, warning sounds, anonymous joining, and reveal permissions can all be adjusted without leaving the game.

Operational model

Direct game links

Public sharing is centered around direct game URLs under the /game/ path. The game creation view lives separately under /new-game, which makes it easier to bookmark, link, and deploy with a clearer information architecture.

Access model

Open under fair use

The service is intended to remain easy to access for teams, workshops, and lightweight collaboration under a fair use principle. That does not remove the need for reasonable operational limits, but it does keep the product open and low-friction by default.

When possible, we encourage teams to use peer-to-peer rooms, because that helps reduce server load while keeping live collaboration available to more users.

Scrum Planning Poker is designed for fast, privacy-conscious agile estimation.
