Planning Poker

Consensus-based estimation technique in which team members privately select cards and reveal them simultaneously.

Definition

Large differences trigger discussion, usually from the highest and lowest estimators, followed by re-voting. It reduces anchoring and is a variant of Wideband Delphi.

Example

Estimates of 3 and 13 lead to a discussion revealing an unknown integration.

Exam tip

Simultaneous reveal prevents anchoring bias.
