Planning Poker for Large Teams
The bigger the room, the more estimation stalls: a few loud voices dominate, quiet people defer, and half the group is only half-involved. Here is how to keep a large team fast and fair.
Why estimation stalls in big groups
With fifteen or twenty people on a call, sequential "what do you think?" estimation does not scale. The senior engineer speaks first, everyone anchors, and the developers who will actually do the work stay quiet.
You also have people in the room who should watch but not vote (stakeholders, observers, a scrum master), and tools that treat everyone identically make the tally meaningless.
Large teams need every person to commit an independent estimate at once, a way to separate voters from spectators, and a reveal that surfaces disagreement instead of burying it.
Built to keep big teams moving
Up to 50 players
The whole team votes in one real-time room without lag or losing anyone.
Roles and spectators
Assign Dev, QA, or PO roles, and let observers join as spectators who watch but do not skew the vote.
Everyone votes at once
Private, simultaneous reveal means the quietest developer's estimate counts as much as the loudest.
Per-role and overall stats
See the spread and average across the whole room and by role, so you know where the real disagreement is.
How it works
- Create a room and share the link with the whole team.
- Voters pick a card; observers join as spectators.
- Reveal together and dig into the outliers, not the loudest voice.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can vote at once?
Up to 50 participants can join and vote in the same room in real time.
Can some people watch without voting?
Yes. Anyone can join as a spectator, so they see the session but are excluded from the tally.
Can we split estimates by role?
Yes. Assign Dev, QA, or PO roles and the results show per-role stats alongside the overall spread.
Is it free for a big team?
Yes, 50 players, roles, and spectators are all free, with no account required.
