Add your team, choose a deck and enter the story. Pass the device around so everyone votes in secret, then reveal all cards together, discuss the outliers and record the agreed estimate.

Secret votes stop the loudest voice setting the number.
Different estimates reveal hidden complexity or misunderstandings.
Everyone who does the work has a say in the estimate.
Planning poker is a consensus estimation game. Cards follow a growing sequence, like Fibonacci, because uncertainty grows with size: the difference between 1 and 2 points is meaningful, between 20 and 21 it is not.
When estimates are far apart, the people with the highest and lowest cards explain their thinking. Usually one re-vote is enough to converge.
0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34.
0, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100.
XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.
Everything runs on one device. The screen asks each player to take the device, pick a card and hide it again before passing it on. Nobody sees other votes until the reveal.
"?" means the voter is unsure and needs more information. The coffee cup asks for a break. Both are excluded from the statistics.
Modified Fibonacci (0, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100) is the most common. T-shirt sizes suit early, rough sizing.
The highest and lowest voters are highlighted so they can explain their reasoning. Then re-vote or agree an estimate.
