How ScrumEstimate Enhances Your Workflow
A deeper look at how our tool integrates with your agile process.
Create a Planning Session
Start by creating a new session and inviting your team members via email or a shareable link. Set your voting system (Fibonacci, T-shirt sizes, etc.) and configure session settings.
Import User Stories
Connect to Jira or manually add user stories to your session. Each story can include a title, description, acceptance criteria, and attachments to provide context for estimation.
Discuss and Vote
Team members review each story and cast their votes. The voting process is hidden until everyone has voted or the timer expires, preventing anchoring bias.
Reveal and Resolve
Once voting is complete, all votes are revealed. If there's consensus, you can move on. If there are outliers, team members can discuss their reasoning and revote if necessary.
Export and Track
After all stories are estimated, export the results back to Jira or download them as a CSV/PDF. Use the historical data to improve future estimations and track team velocity.
