What are the benefits of using planning poker?

Planning poker  — or estimation poker — encourages group collaboration, allowing everyone to come together and discuss what it will take for success. Instead of having one person predict the amount of time and resources needed, planning poker allows all members of a team to make individual estimates so that their collective opinion can be used in forming a cohesive plan. This allows team members to think independently while remaining connected as a whole. By providing multiple points of view on the approach, everyone also learns from each other in the process. Planning poker is especially useful in Scrum settings.

Who to include in planning poker meetings?

Planning poker meetings are a necessary step for any team pursuing larger projects. When planning out each step of the project, it is important to bring together the right players to ensure efficient work and collaboration. The ideal team includes the project manager, lead designers, product owners, and domain experts. Each of these roles offers a unique perspective on the project that helps to drive problem-solving and develop creative solutions.

What is the purpose of planning poker in Scrum?

Planning poker in Scrum frameworks helps team members reach a consensus and make decisions. It works by having each member of the team select one card which corresponds to a numerical value that expresses their level of confidence in the effort it will take to complete an item. During planning sessions, team members take turns revealing one of these cards, and eventually, a majority consensus occurs when enough individuals agree on how many points the task should be assigned. This helps ensure that an accurate estimate is created, ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget constraints.
