PokerSizing.com Offers Easy Tool for Remote Team User Story Estimating

With a lot of teams around the world operating remotely due to the global pandemic, managing some Scrum activities has become a little more difficult. There is definitely something to be said for being in a single location with a group of individuals when you are trying to hammer work out, like user story estimating for example. Well, while scrolling through the /agile reddit community this weekend, I came across a post highlighting a new tool that attempts to make estimating stories easier for remote teams.

PokerSizing.com is a super easy, well-put-together tool that makes remote team estimating seamless. The tool works on desktop and mobile, is completely free with no ads, and doesn’t require a sign-up. Once you initiate a session, you simply share a link with others on your team to join the session. I really like how you can just be an observer or moderator as well. You can also choose which estimating system you want to use (Fibonacci, t-shirt sizing, etc.)

I will definitely be using this in my next sprint planning event, as well as to kick-off a large project coming up soon. Below are some screenshots of PokerSizing.com. Give it a look, and hat-tip to the developer /Br3nd4nB3h4n for creating such a great tool!
