Planning Poker by AppKeel
Estimate faster. Agree sooner. Never leave Jira.
Native planning poker built into every Jira issue — no extra tabs, no external tools, no sign-ups. Your team votes on story points while looking at the actual issue, not a static screenshot.
Designed for Frictional Sprint Planning
Every feature is designed to reduce estimation friction, enhance conversation, and preserve focus.
Native Jira Integration
No extra browser tabs or external sites. Appears directly as a secure panel on the right sidebar of every Jira issue screen.
Zero Anchoring Bias
Cards remain strictly face-down. Prevent senior engineers or loud voices from influencing story point estimates.
Five Estimating Decks
Toggle between Fibonacci, Powers of 2, T-Shirt Sizes, Hours, or define per-issue-type custom override scales.
Planning Queue Management
Load lists of backlog issues into a linear estimation sequence. Navigate through issues live with one click.
Smart Spread Warnings
If team estimates differ by more than a predefined standard deviation, the app automatically triggers a spread warning.
Direct Story Point Saving
Write agreed estimates back to the Story Points field, or target any custom estimation fields in Jira.
Optional Countdown Timer
Keep sessions focused. Program an optional countdown timer with optional automatic cards-reveal on zero.
Real-time Active Presence
See who has cast a vote, who is actively pondering, and who is away, with real-time browser presence indicators.
Granular Moderator Roles
Assign active moderators to manage reveal, session reset, and deck selections, or run open self-organizing teams.
