1. What Is Planning Poker Hub?

Planning Poker Hub is a multiplayer story-point estimation tool that brings teams together in a virtual planning room. The primary keyword is planning poker, and the tool is designed to make agile estimation fast, fair, and easy to run.

Participants join with a display name, select their cards in private, and reveal votes together to see the full picture.

It is useful for sprint planning, backlog refinement, and any estimation session where team alignment matters.

2. How to Use It?

1. Open Planning Poker Hub and create or join a room with your team.
2. Save your display name and set the current story label if you are the host.

3. Ask everyone to select a Fibonacci card for the current story.

4. Reveal the cards together and copy the Jira-ready summary for your planning notes.

3. Key Features & Customization

• Hidden vote mode: keep each estimate secret until the reveal.
• Deck selection: choose from classic Fibonacci or alternate card sets.
• Story labels: add issue titles or Jira links for context in each round.
• Host controls: manage rooms, reveal votes, reset rounds, and share invite links.
• Integration-ready summaries: copy averages, counts, and vote details directly into Jira.

4. Hidden Votes and Summaries

The hidden vote flow is what makes Planning Poker Hub effective for agile teams. It prevents anchoring and pressure by hiding each player’s estimate until the host reveals them all at once.

After the reveal, the tool generates a clear summary that includes averages and vote counts so your team can discuss differences and converge quickly.

This approach helps teams avoid biased estimates and makes the planning conversation more productive.

5. Sharing and Exporting

Use the Copy invite link button to share the session with teammates, and the Copy summary button to export estimation results. The room link makes it fast for distributed teams to join from anywhere.

The summary output is formatted for Jira and planning notes, so you can paste it into your sprint backlog without extra formatting work.

6. When to Use This Estimation Tool?

Use Planning Poker Hub when your team needs a structured, collaborative estimation session. It is ideal for agile teams that want to reduce meeting friction and improve estimate accuracy.

• During sprint planning to estimate backlog items.
• In backlog refinement to compare perspectives on effort.
• When you want remote teams to estimate together with minimal setup.
• To keep planning sessions focused and transparent.
• When you need a quick way to collect and record team estimates.
