As an agile practitioner and advocate, I've always emphasized the importance of effective estimation techniques.

That's where free online planning poker tools like Kollabe come in to save the day!

Kollabe introduces async Planning Poker, enabling Agile teams to collaborate on task estimation without the need for synchronous meetings. This article explores how async Planning Poker can streamline the estimation process and improve remote collaboration.

Planning poker is a common game used in agile software development to estimate the difficulty of a task. For well oiled teams, this extra meaning can sometimes feel like a time sink. That is where asynchronous planning poker comes in. Teams can estimate tickets in their own time, while also leaving comments if more context is needed.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll do some more research and see what a better default might be.

Ah thank you for finding that. I must have missed that when I was cloning the landing page for retros.
