PLANNING POKER ALTERNATIVE

See why estimates differ—not only which number won.

Planning Poker is good at hiding votes. Estifire keeps that independence, then adds the missing context: whether each person sees the work as time-consuming, complex, or both.

01

Separate time from complexity

A single card can mean several things. One developer may choose eight because an integration is risky; another may choose eight because testing will take days. Estifire puts those assumptions on separate axes so the team can discuss the real difference.

  • 🔥X-axis for perceived time
  • 🔥Y-axis for perceived complexity
  • 🔥Hidden points until the reveal
02

Reveal disagreement without anchoring

Everyone places a point independently. When the team reveals, overlapping estimates remain visible and Esti highlights whether the biggest spread is in time or complexity. The facilitator gets a concrete place to begin.

03

Agree, explain, and keep moving

Run another round after the discussion or select the final estimate directly. Paid accounts can correct the recommendation, record the rationale, export the outcome, and carry several backlog items through one reusable session.
