Free Realtime Scrum Poker for Agile Sprint Estimation

SprintKit Scrum Poker provides instant, disposable planning poker rooms with realtime hidden voting, consensus calculation, and Jira synchronization. Estimate user stories without creating accounts or signing up.

How Planning Poker Works in SprintKit

01

Create or Join a Room

Click 'Create Room', name your estimation session, and share the disposable link or QR code with your engineering team.

02

Vote in Secret

Discuss the user story requirements, select your Fibonacci estimate (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21), and keep cards face down to prevent cognitive bias.

03

Reveal & Reach Consensus

Reveal all estimates simultaneously. Inspect point distribution, discuss outliers with the highest and lowest voters, and lock in the final score.

Why Engineering Teams Choose SprintKit Poker

Zero Setup & Disposable Rooms

No passwords, no workspace invites, and no database retention. When the ritual ends, close the tab and the room is discarded.

Standard Fibonacci & T-Shirt Decks

Supports standard modified Fibonacci (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ?), coffee break card, and sizing scales.

Eliminates Cognitive Anchoring

Voting remains completely obscured until the moderator or team triggers the instant reveal, ensuring honest independent sizing.

Live Atlassian Jira Integration

Pull active sprint issues or backlog stories directly into the poker room and write back agreed story point estimates.

Agile Estimation Best Practices

  • §1Estimate effort and complexity, not exact calendar hours.
  • §2If estimates diverge significantly (e.g., 2 vs 13), give the lowest and highest voters 60 seconds to explain assumptions before a revote.
  • §3Break down any story estimated at 13 points or higher into smaller, testable vertical slices.
  • §4Do not let the team lead or tech lead vote first out loud — maintain secrecy until all cards are locked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SprintKit Scrum Poker completely free?
Yes, 100% free with unlimited team members, unlimited rooms, and zero advertisements. No credit card or registration is required.
Do team members need to create an account to vote?
No. Anyone with the room URL can join instantly, choose a display name, and cast their vote from desktop, tablet, or mobile browsers.
Are rooms private and secure?
Rooms use high-entropy random identifiers and can optionally be password-protected. Data is kept in transient edge memory and discarded after the session.
Can I connect Jira Cloud to import backlog items?
Yes. You can authenticate client-side with your Atlassian Jira Cloud API token to browse backlog issues, estimate them in Poker, and update story points directly.
