Define What Each Card Means

Eliminate estimation confusion! Add custom labels to your voting cards to ensure every team member understands exactly what each value represents for your specific context.

What's New

  • Custom card labels that define what each voting option means

  • Easy setup when creating or editing your card sets

  • Hover reveal displaying labels when users need clarification

  • Optional feature - cards display normally without labels if none are added

  • Team alignment tool ensuring consistent understanding across all participants

Why It Matters

Estimation accuracy depends on shared understanding. When one person's "Medium" is another's "Large," your planning sessions lose precision and reliability. Labels bridge this gap by establishing clear, team-specific definitions for each card value. Whether you define complexity, effort, or risk, labels help everyone vote using the same scale and criteria.

Set up labels for your next planning poker session and watch how clearer definitions lead to more accurate estimates and better team alignment around effort and complexity.
