**Flexible Agile planning toolkit**
Agile Poker is a planning toolkit that includes four collaborative estimation methods for co-located and distributed teams. Based on the team's needs, experience, and backlog size, you can choose the best estimation method for you. | 
**Improve team collaboration**
During the sessions, team members can voice their estimates unbiasedly and collaborate during group discussions to reach a consensus and achieve more accurate estimates. | 
**Powerful Agile estimation**
The app also provides advanced features to help form a balance between the speed of the estimation process and expected accuracy, including multi-field estimation, custom estimation values, reference work items, and more. |

## **An overview of Agile Poker’s main components**

## Interactive session
This session is based on [Planning Poker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_poker)®. Perfect for teams collaborating within the same time zone, it ensures active participation from all team members, regardless of whether they are remote or co-located. The interactive nature of the session encourages consensus-based estimations.
## Asynchronous session
This session is based on [Wideband Delphi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wideband_delphi). It’s irreplaceable for distributed teams, but it can also benefit any team seeking asynchronous estimation. This method is highly efficient and fosters consultation-based estimations. Above all, it lets you unlock the potential of collaborative estimation, regardless of geographical boundaries or time constraints.
## Relative session
This session is inspired by [Magic Estimation Game](https://whiteboards.io/blog/magic-estimation-for-jira-users-guide-and-template/), also known as “silent grouping” or “affinity estimating”. It can easily be adopted by teams without a big estimation background. It’s perfect for making quick rough estimations of a large batch of work items, but it’s also valuable for a smaller number of work items that require in-depth discussion and detailed estimations.
## Bucket Sizing session [CLOUD only]
This session is based on [Swimlane Sizing](https://rocketech.it/blog/post/swimlane-sizing-fast-and-effective-project-estimation). This particular approach is tailored for teams with well-established estimation practices, allowing for swift and efficient sessions. It enables teams to rapidly gauge the size and complexity of tasks, utilizing buckets as visual aids.
