With Planning Poker the team estimates together a set of features (or requirements, user stories, tasks, etc.). Each feature is presented for estimation and discussed. Afterwards, each participant privately selects from his own deck the numbered card representing his estimate of how much work is involved in the feature. When every participant has made his selection, all turn their card over simultaneously. High and low estimates are discussed. The team repeats the estimating process until the estimates converge. For detailed instructions see the download on the right hand side.
