Planning Poker App in Sprint Backlog

[Jodie Parsons]

I've just add the Planning Poker Agility plug-in to our company Jira instance in order that I can hold an estimation session with my team. 

Normally during our Backlog Refinement meetings we would look at the Sprint Backlog (which consists of multiple projects). However I can only see the plug-in for the estimation tool when I click on a specific project. 

Does anyone know how this can be added to a Board within Jira? Otherwise I'd have to hold multiple estimation sessions per project which doesn't make sense? When I watched the demo, it gave the impression I could estimate whatever tickets were in my board backlog. 

Any ideas how I could configure this or get around it? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, @Jodie Parsons 

You might want to check out Smart Guess — it’s a Planning Poker app that lets you run estimation sessions directly from the Jira Board, Backlog, or Issue view.

Here’s a short video (a YouTube link) and a screenshot showing how it works from the backlog (it works the same way from the board and issue views as well):

There are two versions available: 

• Free version – includes 30 story estimates per week

• Paid version – offers unlimited estimates

And yes, I built the app, so I’d really appreciate any feedback you have 😊

On that note,  @Bill Sheboy   — last year we added Role-based controls, just like you suggested!

Thanks!

Hi @Jodie Parsons 

Your question is about a marketplace addon / app, and so I recommend checking the vendor's documentation or contacting their support team from their marketplace page.

This appears to be the page for that app:
