Planning Poker is a project estimation tool. It is used to estimate for example how long a task will take, how difficult it is or what its priority should be.

To host a planning poker session assemble a team of estimators and a set of user stories that have to be estimated. Then, make a decision of how youre going to express the estimates (e.g. hours, days, priority, difficulty,...) and choose a deck of cards.

Read a user story and ask questions about it if needed. After the user story is clear to everyone they should each pick a card that resembles their estimation and keep it face down. When every estimator has selected their card the cards are turned face up. If the estimates vary a lot the estimators should discuss their reasoning on why their estimates are so different. After the discussion, go again! And repeat this process until consensus has been reached. When in need for a break, go for the coffee card!
