Why choose Actioner's Planning poker app?

At Actioner, we believe in making complex things simple. Our Planning poker app is designed to give you the best Agile planning experience, and it works seamlessly with Slack and Jira.

Let's break down why you should consider using it for your Agile planning:

Agile planning made accessible in Slack

Agile planning involves estimating tasks, and Actioner makes it a breeze within Slack. Scrum Masters and team leads can initiate estimation sessions effortlessly. We've even created a dedicated Planning poker channel in Slack, transforming it into your agile planning hub. You can efficiently manage and closely track the estimation process in this dedicated channel.

Dynamic task management

Agile planning requires staying flexible and keeping your task list up-to-date. You can add or remove items for estimation directly from Slack at any point during the game. This ensures your task list is always accurate, making your discussions about estimates more reliable.

Collaborate on estimations

Agile success is built on collaboration. After you create a game and add issues, your team can work together to assign estimations and provide comments—all within Slack. 

After completing all estimations, you can reveal the cards to reach a final, agreed-upon estimation. Upon revealing the cards, you can see the average estimation, identify who provided each estimation, and review their comments in the issue thread. You can also set the final estimation at this stage.

Additionally, if any issues need further discussion, you can revisit them later for re-estimation. Alternatively, if you prefer to estimate an issue later, you can skip the issue for future estimation.

Data-driven decision-making

Data plays a vital role in Agile planning. Actioner’s Planning poker app provides insightful reports directly in Slack. You can track total estimations, review individual effort estimates, and categorize your estimations. This data empowers you to make informed decisions, prioritize tasks effectively, and steer your projects toward success.

It integrates seamlessly with Jira, enabling you to effortlessly import issues using JQL queries and directly assign final estimations to Jira issues within Slack. This integration is a crucial link between Agile planning and project management, significantly enhancing your ability to manage and execute projects precisely.
