Agile poker vs planning poker — same idea, different name

Why call it "agile poker"?

"Planning Poker" is a registered trademark of Mountain Goat Software. We use agile poker (sometimes scrum poker) to describe the same estimation technique without stepping on a trademark.

If your team already runs planning-poker rituals, the day-to-day is identical:

• pick an issue
• everyone votes face-down with a card from the same deck
• reveal simultaneously
• discuss outliers
• agree on an estimate, move to the next issue

What's different here?

We focused on three things:

1. No accounts for participants. Drop a link in Slack and you're done.
2. Markdown that renders. Issue bodies aren't truncated to a tooltip — they render with full GitHub-flavoured markdown.
3. A real felt aesthetic. Because tools that look like spreadsheets feel like spreadsheets.

Migrating from another tool

Bring your decks, your habits, and your team. Import issues from GitHub, Jira, or paste them in. Your sprint cadence shouldn't change — just the URL.
