PlanningWith.Cards - HipChat add-on - estimates for distributed agile teams
Channel: Nearsoft, Inc
Date: 2016-04-06

When you are working with remote or distributed teams on HipChat you talk and text about what is going on for projects' issues or tasks.

With the PlanningWith.Cards HipChat add-on you can estimate on those tasks directly on your teams room, by providing a Glance (sidebar) where you can play a game of Planning Poker inside the room.

You can get the add-on in the Atlassian Marketplace: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/planningwithcards/cloud/overview

Using cards like Man Hours, Working Days or Fibonacci numbers team members can privately choose an estimation based on their personal opinion. PlanningWith.Cards will show the results once everyone has submitted their estimate. The team can do several rounds until everyone agrees on an estimation.

We know that agile teams use project management platforms like JIRA, Pivotal Tracker and Trello. PlanningWith.Cards provides a Dashboard where you can connect to backlogs and projects from all three platforms.

All your estimates can be updated in the projects directly and you also get a history on all the rounds done on an issue or task.

Improve your software projects' estimation with PlanningWith.Cards and help your team get better results with your agile development.
