  • Estimates saved to Azure Boards
  • Plan as you pick
Inside Azure DevOps

Everything your team needs to estimate and plan without leaving Azure DevOps

An estimation and planning layer inside Azure Boards, on your real work items.

Live planning poker

Estimate together in a live session: hidden votes, the reveal, the spread of the votes and the agreed estimate saved to the work item.

Async Poker

Each person votes and comments at their own pace, so a team across time zones estimates without another meeting.

Quick Estimation

Estimate one work item from its own form in Azure DevOps, with no session to set up.

Plan as you pick

Move work items between sprints and the backlog, and add child work items, without leaving SprintPoker.

Edit work items in the session

Change a work item’s Azure DevOps fields from its details in the session.

Reference work items

Benchmarks a moderator chooses, and completed work items estimated at the value you point at, to guide relative estimation.

A faster way to prioritise and plan sprints in Azure DevOps

Moving work between the backlog, sprints and parent items can take many steps in Azure DevOps. SprintPoker adds a simpler planning layer, so teams can prioritise and refine work as they pick it.

  • Move work items from the backlog into sprints.
  • Move work items from one sprint to another, or back to the backlog.
  • Add child work items from the planning view.

Edit work items without leaving your planning session

Planning often brings quick changes: a title needs tightening, a description needs more detail, or a priority changes. SprintPoker shows the work item’s Azure DevOps fields beside the cards, where you can change them.

  • Change a work item’s fields in the session.
  • Add comments without opening Azure DevOps.
  • Keep estimation, refinement and planning in one place.

Estimate with real context, not guesswork

SprintPoker helps teams compare new work with benchmarks they chose and with completed work items estimated before.

  • Reference Issues: work items a moderator chose as benchmarks, kept for the project.
  • Matching Issues: completed work items estimated at the card you point at.
  • AI hints for moderators, when the session has them on.
