Planning Poker (Continued)

How to do it:

1. Give each estimator a deck of cards with a different estimate number on each card 2. Moderator reads a user story; discuss briefly 3. Each estimator selects a card for the estimate 4. When instructed, estimators show their cards simultaneously 5. Discuss differences (especially outliers) 6. Re-estimate until estimates converge
