Free Planning Poker Timer

Use a planning poker timer for agile estimation, story discussion, reveal windows, debate, re-votes, and sprint planning. Keep estimation rounds moving and use an XTimer room when a scrum master needs a shared display.

Built for this job

Agile estimation rounds stay short and visible.

Teams can separate discussion, voting, reveal, and decision time.

XTimer rooms let the scrum master control the planning poker timer while the team sees the shared countdown.
