Joker Poker
... is a distributed online estimation poker application crafted with ❤️.
How it works
There are two important screens ...
- The
Team screen shows all teammates and their votes, including yourself
- The
Me screen shows your vote and allows you to change it
and two important events ...
- The team starts voting - all votes are reset and hidden and all teammates are taken to the Me screen
- All teammates have voted - all votes are revealed and all teammates are taken to the Team screen, you can still change your vote
You can change between screens any time by clicking on your own vote or via the menu. If any teammate presses Restart the team starts voting.
To make sure JokerPoker correctly detects that all teammates have voted ...
- set yourself as observer when you are not voting. You can do so from the
Settings screen or when joining a team
Disonnect yourself when away from the screen - your facilitator will rebuke you a little less 😏 and it's only one click
If needed a teammate can be send offline be anybody under Settings.

Questions & Answers
- How can we know what we estimate? Why can't I set a description / sync with my issue tracker ?
- JokerPoker is meant to be used on a secondary ( mobile ) screen. We assume you use other communication channels like voice and screen sharing in parallel. You physical estimation poker cards don't show the topic either. 😗
