Scrum Poker Cards, also known as Planning Poker or Estimation Poker, is a collaborative estimation technique used in Agile software development, particularly in Scrum teams. It is designed to facilitate accurate and efficient estimation of story points or other sizing metrics for user stories or tasks.

How Scrum Poker Cards Work:

1. Prepare the cards: A deck of Scrum Poker cards consists of cards with numbers representing Fibonacci numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100) and "coffee" (used to indicate uncertainty).

2. Read the user story: The Scrum team gathers and reads the user story or task to be estimated.

3. Secretly select a card: Each team member secretly selects a card from the deck that represents their estimate of the effort required to complete the story.

4. Reveal cards simultaneously: On a count of three, all team members reveal their cards simultaneously.

5. Discuss and refine: If there is a significant spread in estimates, the team discusses their reasoning and attempts to reach a consensus. They may adjust their estimates based on the discussion.

6. Repeat until consensus: The process is repeated until the team reaches a consensus on the story point estimate.

Benefits of Scrum Poker Cards:

* Enhanced accuracy: The anonymity of the card selection encourages honest and unbiased estimates.

* Reduced bias: By eliminating anchoring effects and social pressure, Scrum Poker Cards minimize the influence of dominant team members.

* Improved collaboration: The discussion phase fosters open communication and shared understanding.

* Faster estimation: The structured process allows for quick and efficient estimation sessions.

* Scalability: Scrum Poker Cards can be used for small or large teams and can accommodate a wide range of story sizes.

Tips for Using Scrum Poker Cards:

* Use the Fibonacci sequence: The Fibonacci sequence ensures that there are no "in-between" values, forcing teams to make more accurate estimates.

* Encourage participation: Ensure that all team members actively participate and share their perspectives.

* Facilitate discussion: The Scrum Master or facilitator should guide the discussion and help the team reach consensus.

* Consider uncertainty: The "coffee" card allows teams to acknowledge uncertainty and avoid over-estimating.

* Calibrate regularly: Periodically review the accuracy of estimates and adjust the process as needed.
