# **Here is a quick review 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 allows you to 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 issues, but it’s also valuable for a smaller number of issues that require in-depth discussion and detailed estimations.

## Bucket Sizing Session 

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.
