PlanITpoker is a fun tool for project teams to estimate tasks. Players vote on each task using cards without seeing what other players are voting. After all have voted the results are revealed and the estimates discussed until a consensus is reached. This technique of estimating is sometimes called planning poker or Scrum poker. PlanITPoker is totally free to use and ideal for distributed software teams using Agile development methodologies.

Interested in playing Planning Poker to estimate your user stories or product backlog but feel you can't because your team isn't all in the same building? If so, try our online version of Planning Poker explicitly made for distributed teams. (But even collocated teams have reported using it for occasional fun.)

The online version provides everything you need to get the same benefits of this wonderful estimating technique.

Best of all—it's completely free and your data is completely confidential.
