Introduction

Planning Poker on Mumu

Estimate your backlog faster and keep everyone aligned. Planning Poker helps your team agree on story points with an intuitive, distraction‑free interface. Start a free session in seconds, invite up to 16 people, and reveal estimates together.

This guide explains how to run sessions as a guest (no signup) and as a signed‑in member of an organization, how scales work, and what to expect during a round.

Key concepts

• Session: A real‑time room where teammates pick cards and reveal estimates together.
• Scale: The set of available card values (for example, Fibonacci). You can use built‑in scales or define your own.
• Round: One cycle of voting and revealing. You can run unlimited rounds in a single session.
• Reveal: The moment when all cards are shown and the average is displayed.
• Participant types:
  • Guest: Joins without an account. Can start open sessions and invite anyone with the link.
  • Signed‑in member: Belongs to an organization. Sessions created by members are restricted to that organization.

What you can do

• Start a free session without creating an account.
• Choose from built‑in scales or provide a custom scale for the session.
• Invite teammates with a shareable link.
• See vote status at a glance: a gray dot means not voted yet; a green dot means voted.
• Reveal cards (any participant can reveal), view each pick, and see the average.
• Run unlimited rounds; switch context quickly with Start new round.

Limits

• Each session supports up to 16 participants.
• Sessions expire automatically after 24 hours.
• Guests use auto‑generated avatars. To set a custom avatar, sign in and update your profile.
