Why It Matters
Distributed teams often struggle to find common meeting times for planning. Asynchronous planning poker solves this challenge by decoupling estimation from real-time meetings while maintaining the benefits of independent voting. Team members can thoughtfully consider each ticket, vote at their convenience, and still contribute valuable perspective to the estimation process regardless of their time zone or schedule.
Enable asynchronous mode for your next planning session and experience how flexible participation leads to higher engagement and more inclusive estimation from your entire team.
