How to Use the Planning Poker Template in Collaboard

  1. Open the template – Select the “Planning Poker Template” from Collaboard or import it as a new board. It’s ready to go instantly.

  2. Use or customize the card deck – The template includes a predefined deck with the following values:

    • 0: Task has already been completed

    • 1, 3, 5: Small tasks with low effort

    • 8, 13: Medium tasks – 13 is often the maximum complexity for a task still feasible within a sprint

    • 20, 40: Too complex for one sprint – should be split into smaller tasks

    • 100: Very complex or currently unestimable – e.g., an epic

    You can easily customize the deck to use different formats, like T-shirt sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL) or other estimation systems.

  3. Invite your team – Share the board link so everyone can join and contribute in real time.

  4. Start the estimation round – Use the built-in timer to manage discussion time and card selection efficiently.
