Poker table creation (as needed)#

• Create a poker table whenever you need a new one. For the first one, it is recommended that a representative, such as the Scrum Master, creates it.
• If you have already been given a share URL, skip creation and go to Sharing the table .

1. Press the “Create a table” button on the screen shown right after sign-in.
   • If you are already at a table, press the table name in the top bar and choose “New table…”.
2. The “Create New Table” dialog will appear.

   

3. Enter a “Table Name” and press the “Create Table” button.
   • Up to 20 characters.
4. Once you are at the table, its name appears in the top bar and your seat is shown.

   

   • The table creator is automatically seated.
   • You are alone just after the table is created.

Sharing the table & Invite participants#

• Invite other participants to the table you have created.

1. Press the table name in the top bar. The table menu opens.

   

2. Press “Share this table…” under “This table”. The “Share this table” dialog opens.

   

3. There are three ways to hand it over. Pick the one that fits.
   • Let them scan the QR code. If you are in the same room, having them scan it with their phone camera is the quickest way.
   • Show the screen. If you are sharing your screen on a call, they can scan it from there. You can also save it as an image and send it.
   • Send the URL. The URL is shown under the QR code. The button at its right end copies it to the clipboard, so you can paste it into a chat or an email.
4. Opening the URL or scanning the QR code seats them automatically.
   • Note: It is recommended that you create your account in advance and open it with a logged-in state.
   • Note: Anyone who knows the URL or the QR code can join. Do not share it carelessly.
5. Instead of opening the URL, they can also paste it to join.
   • “Join by URL / ID…” in the table menu opens the “Tables” screen.

     

   • Paste the share URL or the table ID into the field at the bottom and press “Join”.
6. As more people are seated, their seats are shown at the table.
7. To move to another table you have joined, choose it under “Switch table” in the table menu.
   • The table you are currently at is marked.
8. To leave a table you no longer use, open the “Tables” screen and press the button at the right end of its row.

   

   • “Leave this table” removes you from it. “Copy ID” copies the table ID alone.

Estimates#

• It is convenient for you to bookmark the shared URL.
• It is designed to be used in conjunction with online call tools for discussion.

1. Check the dot next to the table name to confirm that it is in sync.

   

   • While it says “OK”, other people’s moves appear right away.
   • When it stops, the dot turns orange and “Not updating” appears with a “Reconnect” button.

     

2. Confirm that the participant’s names are displayed.
3. Pick a card from “Your hand”.
   • Once you pick one, your card on the table changes its look.

     

     

   • The table shows how many people are left, as “N to go”. It turns into “Everyone is in” once all of them have picked.
4. Press the “Reveal all cards” button.
   • Anyone can press it, but it is a good idea to decide who will reveal the cards.
   • It can be revealed even if someone has not picked.
5. The cards and brief statistics are displayed.
   • Mode, median, spread (from the lowest to the highest), and a graph of how many votes each value got.
   • Discuss the result and determine the final estimated point.

     

6. Press the “Next round” button to go back to picking cards.
   • Anyone can press it, but it is a good idea to decide who will do it.

Change your display name#

• Until you set one, the name from your sign-in is shown: the account name for social sign-in, or the part before “@” of your email address.

1. Press your icon at the right end of the top bar. Your own menu opens.

   

2. Press “Name” under “You”.
   • The item also shows the display name you are using now.
