Progression

Why a planning poker tool has gamification at all

Sprint planning is recurring, repetitive work — the kind of routine that decays into the slowest meeting on the calendar. Gamification doesn't make estimation easier; it makes the ritual something the team shows up for. Streaks and badges reward consistency. Session MVP highlights the voter who actually drove the discussion. None of it changes the math — it just makes the rhythm sustainable.

Achievements

Badges for real estimation behavior

Unlock badges for milestones that map to real estimation behavior. Achievements pop in-room with a small animation — never blocking the vote.
  • First vote, fast confident calls, consensus milestones — badges map to moments that matter.
  • Achievement popups appear in-room with a small animation and never pause the vote flow.
  • XP is earned for every vote and accepted estimate — quiet, cumulative.
  • Level badge shows in your room header — a personal marker of consistency, visible only to you.

XP and levels

A quiet progress bar that compounds over sprints

XP and levels are a background signal — visible when you want them, invisible when you don't. The bar exists to reward the habit, not to create competition.
  • XP accrues for every vote cast — the counter moves whether the team notices or not.
  • Level up thresholds grow with each level, so the bar never maxes out after a few sessions.
  • Your level is local to your browser — not synced to the server, not shared with the team.
  • Gain bonuses for early votes, consensus contributions, and consecutive-day streaks.

After the reveal

Streaks, MVP, and reactions

  • Daily streaks: a small counter that nudges without nagging — skip a day and it resets quietly.
  • Session MVP: after each reveal, the voter whose card landed closest to the room average gets a nod.
  • Reactions: quick responses on any story or vote keep the room lively without derailing discussion.

Privacy

Lightweight and private by design

  • Unobtrusive by design — small in-room animations that never block or delay a vote.
  • XP, levels, and streaks are stored locally in your browser — not synced to your account or shared with your team.
  • No public leaderboards and no cross-team ranking.
  • Gamification is included on every plan at no extra cost.
