How it works

Four steps. No meeting on the calendar.

  1. 01

    Pull in the tickets

    Connect Linear or Jira (or paste manually). Pick what goes in this round, set a deadline, choose your deck.

  2. 02

    Team votes async

    Everyone votes when it suits them. Live progress shows who's voted — votes themselves stay hidden until close.

  3. 03

    Discrepancies get surfaced

    On close, range and outlier rules flag tickets that need a conversation. Slack thread fires automatically.

  4. 04

    Discuss → revote → done

    Reopen flagged tickets for a single revote cycle. Estimates write back to Linear/Jira when finalised.

Features

Everything teams asked for. Nothing they didn't.

We started with one question: what would planning poker look like if it was built for the way teams actually work today? Here's what we built.

  • Async voting, no scheduling

    Open a round, set a deadline, get back to work. Members vote on their own time — no calendar Tetris.

  • Discrepancies surface themselves

    Range and outlier rules flag the tickets that need a conversation. Everything else closes silently.

  • Linear & Jira write-back

    Pull tickets in. Estimates push back to the source on round close. Slack threads for the discussions.

  • Built-in revote loop

    Reopen a flagged ticket — or all of them — for a fresh vote after discussion. No manual dance.

  • Multiple workspaces, real teams

    Owner / admin / lead / member roles. Per-team decks, thresholds, close modes. Multi-tenant from day one.

  • Async-first by design

    No "live mode" at all. Polling-based progress, sane time-zone handling, deadlines that respect humans.

FAQ

Questions teams ask first.

Do we still need a meeting?

Not for estimation. The point is to remove the synchronous part. The only time you'd talk live is on flagged tickets — and you can do that in Slack threads, not on a calendar.

What integrations do you support?

Linear, Jira, and Slack are the headline integrations (OAuth, webhooks, write-back). More on the roadmap. You can also use Poker Plan Apart standalone with manually-added tickets.

How does the discrepancy detection work?

Each team configures range or outlier rules (or both). Range flags when max − min crosses N Fibonacci steps. Outlier flags when any single vote sits N or more steps from the median. Non-numeric votes (?, ☕) auto-flag the ticket regardless.

How much does it cost?

Free during beta — no credit card, no time-bombed trial. Paid plans roll out post-beta with a generous free tier for small teams.

Where is data stored?

AWS (Cognito, DynamoDB, EventBridge) in eu-west-1. JWT-based auth, MFA available, role-scoped permissions. SOC 2 is on the roadmap.
