Planning Poker for Remote Teams
Estimate stories together, from anywhere
Remote sprint planning is hard. Screen sharing a spreadsheet is clunky. Chat-based voting is slow and reveals bias. PointPoker gives distributed teams a dedicated, real-time planning poker experience that works seamlessly across time zones and devices.
Share a link, start voting
No accounts to create, no software to install. The facilitator creates a room, shares the link (or QR code for screen sharing), and the team joins instantly. Works on laptops, tablets, and phones — everyone uses whatever device they have.
Real-time, not turn-based
PointPoker uses WebSocket connections for instant synchronization. Every team member sees who has voted, and the facilitator reveals all cards simultaneously. No stale data, no refreshing, no "can you see my screen?" moments.
Reduce anchoring bias
Votes are hidden until the facilitator reveals them. This prevents anchoring — the tendency for team members to adjust their estimates toward the first number they hear. Everyone votes independently, then discusses the differences.
Built for async-friendly workflows
Voting timers keep sessions moving. Auto-reveal ensures votes get shown even if the facilitator steps away. Observer mode lets stakeholders watch without influencing estimates. Auto-nudge gently reminds non-voters after 30 seconds.
