Planning poker cards.

Planning poker is an agile estimation technique where the whole team sizes a backlog item at the same time. Everyone picks a card privately, then reveals together, so the loudest voice in the room does not anchor the estimate. When numbers diverge, the gap itself is the useful part, because it surfaces hidden assumptions and missing detail before the work starts.

Use the Fibonacci deck for story points when relative sizing matters, T-shirt sizes for quick high-level triage, or a custom deck to match how your team already estimates. Read the item, let everyone choose, reveal, and let the highest and lowest estimates explain their reasoning before you settle on a number.

This deck is local-only, so it works well for a single facilitator sharing their screen on a call. Feed the agreed points into the sprint velocity calculator to forecast your backlog, check the totals against the sprint capacity calculator before you commit, and close the loop on your estimates during the next sprint retrospective.
