Online Planning Poker for agile teams
Online Planning Poker for clearer story point estimates
Bring backlog items into one room, let every participant vote privately, reveal estimates together, and discuss the differences before the team agrees on story points.

More balanced estimates
Cards stay hidden until reveal, so the team starts from independent judgment instead of seniority, pressure, or the first answer.
Discussion where it actually matters
Wide estimate spreads point the team to unclear requirements, hidden risks, dependencies, and different implementation assumptions.
A faster path from backlog to sprint plan
Import issues, vote, reveal, align, and move to the next item without spreadsheets, chat counting, or duplicated Jira context.
How it works
A practical flow for estimating work before the sprint
Agilo keeps the estimation process explicit: the team sees the same backlog context, votes independently, discusses only meaningful gaps, and leaves with an agreed estimate.
01
Bring in real backlog items
Add work manually or import Jira issues with the details the team needs for a meaningful estimate.
02
Vote before the room influences the result
Each participant chooses a card privately, so the first estimate does not anchor the whole conversation.
03
Use the spread to find uncertainty
Compare the estimates and discuss the risks, dependencies, or missing context behind the biggest differences.
04
Record the estimate and keep moving
Agree on the final story points, keep the decision visible, and continue with the next backlog item while context is fresh.
Included
Jira issue import
Issue details in the room
Estimate without duplicate entry
Backlog estimation connected to Jira
Pull Jira issues into the room so the team estimates real work with its existing context instead of copying titles, links, and descriptions between tools.
Included
Custom estimation values
Automatic reveal options
Facilitator and player roles
Estimation rules that match your team
Set the deck, reveal behavior, timer, and facilitator controls around the way your team plans instead of forcing a generic meeting format.
Included
Live reactions
Meeting timer
Visible participant state
Remote estimation without losing meeting discipline
Presence, reactions, timers, and clear room states help distributed teams stay aligned while the facilitator keeps the estimation session moving.
Use cases
Where Planning Poker improves the delivery conversation
Product teams
Refine the backlog before commitment
Find unclear requirements and oversized work before the team tries to fit them into a sprint.
Engineering teams
Make complexity visible
Surface technical risk, dependencies, and different implementation assumptions before delivery starts.
Facilitators
Keep estimation structured
Guide voting, reveal, discussion, and final agreement without spreadsheets, manual counting, or scattered chat messages.
Continue the workflow
Keep estimates connected to the sprint workflow
Planning Poker works best when backlog context stays close and the team can review delivery after the work is complete.
Run Planning Poker step by step
Use a practical agenda, prepare estimable backlog items, and facilitate the discussion when votes differ.
