UltimatePlanningPoker
UltimatePlanningPoker is a free web platform for Agile estimation and sprint retrospectives. During Planning Poker, teammates choose Fibonacci cards, reveal estimates together, discuss differences, and work toward agreement on story points. Participants can attach comments to their estimates and view group results in a bar diagram. Teams start by creating a unique team name or joining with a team code. The retrospective board records what went well, improvement areas, and future ideas, and allows a Star of the Sprint award for multiple members. The Free plan costs nothing and includes Planning Poker, backlog refinement, and sprint retrospectives without sign-up. The service is intended for Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, Product Owners, Product Managers, engineering managers, technical leads, and remote or distributed development teams. It is web-only. The company says the site uses encrypted HTTPS and is hosted on Vercel. Its privacy policy says it collects names, email addresses, team details, and submitted feedback or comments.
