Scrum Poker is a critical part of the Agile Development Process; estimating tasks happens in the Sprint planning phase.
Unfortunately, there's no good standard way to do this with a distributed team.
We were messing around with sockets and the concept of real-time peer connection, and came up with an awesome solution.
This was a no-brainer in terms of requirements; this was a simple solution to a very tedious part of the Agile process.
The app allows multiple tables, anonymous voting, and a dealer-override button. Offsite team members' votes are identical to those attending in-person.
In addition to your own vote, the results screen shows the mean, the mode, the lowest and highest votes, as well as the table ID and the dealer name.
This tool simplifies the sprint planning process and saves a ton of time in the process.
