Once everyone votes, the facilitator reveals all cards. Discuss any large discrepancies, then set the final estimate.

Track Blockers

Identify blockers for each task. The AI Complexity track provides an additional scoring dimension beyond story points.

Why Planning Poker?

Reduce Estimation Bias

When team members vote privately before revealing, anchoring bias is eliminated. No one is influenced by the senior developer's estimate or the manager's expectations.

Surface Hidden Complexity

Large discrepancies in estimates reveal misunderstandings early. If one developer says 2 and another says 13, there's crucial knowledge that needs sharing.

Build Shared Understanding

The discussion after reveal is where the real value lies. The team aligns on scope, identifies risks, and builds collective ownership of the estimate.
