How Do I Start Planning Poker?

Planning poker is a great way to get started with agile estimation. It is a simple, fun, and effective way to estimate the effort required for a project. Here are some tips on how to start planning poker:

1. Choose the right size for your team.

Planning poker works best with teams of 4-10 people.

2. Decide on the format of the game.

There are many different ways to play planning poker, so choose the one that will work best for your team.

PRO TIP:Planning poker is a great way to estimate the relative size of tasks in a software development project. To get started, gather all stakeholders together and create a list of tasks, assign each task a size value (e.g. S, M, L), and then use planning poker cards to estimate the relative size of each task. This will help you determine the correct order for completing tasks and provide an estimate for the overall project timeline.

3. Set up the game.

Once you have chosen the format, you will need to set up the game. This includes creating cards with values, dealing out the cards, and choosing a starting player.

4. Start estimating! The goal of planning poker is to estimate the effort required for a project.

To do this, each team member will look at their card and give their estimate. The team will then discuss their estimates and come to an agreement on the final estimate.

5. End the game.

Once all of the estimates have been made, the game is over! You can then start working on your project with your new estimate in hand.
