Planning Poker Online Tool,
Inside Your Backlog
Most planning poker tools live separately from your work. In doBoard, estimates happen inside the task: full context, async voting before the meeting, and a simultaneous reveal that keeps every voice equal.
No extra tabs, no copy-pasting, no lost votes.
No credit card required. Setup in 2 minutes.

Why estimation sessions go wrong?
Someone speaks first. Everyone else adjusts. The number gets recorded, but the assumptions never surface. Planning Poker was built to fix exactly this.
How planning poker works in doBoard
Step 1: Add context to the task
Before anyone estimates, the task needs to be readable. Write the description, add acceptance criteria, and resolve open questions in comments. Everyone arrives at the session already up to speed, not reading for the first time.
Step 2: Team estimates privately
Each team member picks a value privately. The Fibonacci scale (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21) is built in. No one sees anyone else’s pick until the reveal. That means no anchoring: every estimate is genuinely independent.
Step 3: Reveal, discuss, decide
The scrum master or whoever runs the session opens the results. Tight spread means the team is aligned: record and move on. Wide spread means someone sees something others don’t. That’s the conversation worth having before work starts, not after.
What Is Planning Poker?
Planning Poker is a group estimation technique: each team member picks a number privately, then everyone reveals at the same moment.
No one anchors to someone else’s guess.
Wide spread means hidden assumptions. Tight spread means the team is aligned.
It takes minutes to run and works for any team that estimates work, not just developers.
