About the Agile Methodology
Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development that helps teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches. Instead of betting everything on a "big bang" launch, an agile team delivers work in small, but consumable, increments.
Scrum is the most popular agile framework, organizing work into time-boxed sprints with regular ceremonies like sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. Planning Poker is a crucial technique used during sprint planning to estimate the effort required for backlog items.
Our tool enhances the Scrum Planning Poker technique, making estimation more collaborative, transparent, and fun while maintaining the core principles that make it effective for agile teams.
