Team Estimation lets a team size its Jira work items together – on one shared board, or with planning poker – and saves the agreed estimates to Jira.

Estimating one work item at a time is slow. Put the whole backlog on a board instead:

  • Sizing board – every card on one board, everyone drags the cards to their size at the same time. Changes of the others appear live. Dozens of work items are sized in minutes.
  • Planning poker, live or async – everyone places the cards in private, a moderator reveals the votes. Cards everyone agrees on go straight to their size; the rest show who voted what, so you only discuss the differences. Votes can be collected in a meeting or over a few days.
  • Take turns and relative sizing – the classic “magic estimation” game: one card per person, lanes from small to large, values at the end.
  • Any estimate field – story points in team-managed and company-managed spaces, any number field, the original time estimate, a text field for T-shirt sizes, or the priority.
  • Safe saving – before writing, the app compares with Jira: estimates changed in Jira during the session are shown and kept unless you decide otherwise.
  • Starts where you work – from the backlog, a sprint or a work item search, or from Apps › Estimation Sessions.

Safe by design

  • Work items are read and written with each person’s own Jira permissions.
  • The app stores ids only – no summaries or other content of work items. No data leaves Atlassian. Runs on Atlassian.
