At the beginning of each Agile sprints, the team members would sit down at a round table, planning tasks and breaking down each tasks into sub-tasks. The estimation of efforts will be the major outcome of this planning meeting. The following planning cards may be useful in this activity.
A random (or in turn) team member gets to break down the task in advance. And for each sub-tasks, every developer picks a card and show it on the table at the same time. The point on the card represents the efforts required to accomplish the job. Of course, at beginning, a roughly-medium-size sub-tasks will be taken for the reference point (score = 1).
“The deck of Planning Poker(R) cards is for youruse in estimating. The deck contains enough cards for four estimators to each hold cards with the following values: ?, 0, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100 and infinity”.
Base on the points shown by everybody, opinions are required (and there might be discussions) for those who votes for the highest/lowest points. At the end of each estimation, the score will be averaged (or pick the medium) and recorded.
This is called Agile poker game!
and you can get it from Amazon!
