Create a free planning poker room in one click. No sign-up, no download, no time limit. Works for remote and co-located Scrum teams of any size.
Scrum poker (also called planning poker) is a consensus-based estimation technique used by Scrum and agile teams to assign story points to backlog items. Each team member privately selects a card — usually from the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21) — and all cards are revealed simultaneously.
This prevents anchoring bias: no one sees someone else's estimate before committing to their own. When estimates differ, the team discusses the gap. The person who voted highest and the person who voted lowest explain their reasoning. Hidden complexity surfaces. Shared understanding grows.
This technique is especially important for remote agile teams where watercooler alignment doesn't happen naturally. Running scrum poker online replicates the synchronous, simultaneous reveal that makes the method work.
Running a scrum poker session on planning-poker-free.com takes under 60 seconds to set up.
Click "Create Free Room" on the homepage. No account, no email, no credit card required. You get an instant room with a shareable link.
Share the room link in Slack, Teams, or your video call chat. Team members join by clicking the link in any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Nothing to install.
Paste the story title or description into the session. Your team sees it immediately in real time.
Each participant selects a card. Votes are hidden until everyone has submitted. Use Fibonacci, T-shirt sizes, or a custom deck.
Click "Reveal Cards". All votes appear simultaneously. If there is wide disagreement, the highest and lowest estimators explain their thinking.
Once the team reaches consensus, lock the story point value and move to the next item.
The card deck you choose shapes how your team estimates. Switch between scales below to explore your options.
The most common barrier to adopting a new tool mid-sprint is registration friction. If a Scrum Master has to ask team members to create accounts before a planning session can start, that tool does not get used.
Planning-poker-free.com removes that barrier entirely. No account required for anyone — not the room creator, not the participants. Share a link, everyone joins, and the session starts.
No participant limits. No feature gating. No download. The full estimation flow is available to every user at no cost — there is no "upgrade to unlock" moment during a live session.
