Agile Scrum: James Grenning - The Father of Planning Poker


Planning Poker is a tool for estimating user stories on software development projects. It is a technique that minimizes anchoring by asking each team member to play their estimate card such that it cannot be seen by the other players. After each player has selected a card, all cards are exposed at once.  Here is a good planning poker website I've used when working with distributed teams.  http://www.planningpoker.com/ Try it out and let me know what you think.
