After a Planning poker game is created, and issues to be estimated are added to the session by clicking the Start game button, the issues are sequentially sent to the channel for estimation, initiating the process.
Participants click the Estimate button to assign an estimation and provide comments for each issue. The available estimation options are listed based on the choices made during game creation.
The View participants button lets you see who contributed to the estimation for a particular issue.
The game host clicks the Reveal cards button when all necessary participants have voted. This workflow sends a message to the issue's thread, showing who voted and their comments. Additionally, the average estimation is added to the issue details.
💡 The host can configure who can reveal cards in Game settings.
After revealing cards, a Set final estimation button appears on the issue's thread. The host can use this workflow to set the final agreed-upon estimation for the issue.
If an issue needs to be revisited later, there is a Skip option; once selected, estimation continues with the next issue. The skipped issue is returned for estimation at the end of the session.
In cases where a consensus cannot be reached on an issue's estimation, the Re-estimate button is used. This restarts the estimation process for the issue.
