What PlanningPoker.live is
PlanningPoker.live is a browser based planning poker tool for agile teams that need to estimate work together. You create a room, share the link, and everyone joins without making an account. The project is open source, so teams that want to inspect the code or run their own copy can do that. Voting covers Fibonacci numbers, T-shirt sizes, and custom card sets, and the session shows statistics that help a group see where opinions differ and move toward a shared estimate. Meetings can run live alongside Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or Webex, or asynchronously when members are spread across time zones.
What you can do with it
- Run a live estimation session with card sets such as Fibonacci values or T-shirt sizes.
- Hold an asynchronous vote when the team cannot meet at the same hour.
- Review session statistics to spot outliers and talk through edge cases.
- Send agreed results back to JIRA issues and use PokerBot for meeting summaries.
- Protect a room with a password and set permissions for who can vote or edit.
Who it is for
- Remote Scrum teams that estimate backlog items every sprint.
- Project managers who want estimates recorded in JIRA without copy and paste.
- Distributed teams where a single meeting time does not work for everyone.
- Facilitators who want a simple, no signup room for an estimation workshop.
What to watch out for
The service is free to use without registration today, but free access rules can change, so check the site before you rely on it for a critical ceremony. The JIRA and video call features lean on outside services, and an outage on either side can interrupt a session mid vote. First time users sometimes need a round or two to learn how rooms, card sets, and permissions fit together. Open source code means you can self host, but that adds setup and maintenance work that a quick session does not need.
