Scrum masters

Planning poker built for the person running the session

Most tools were built for the voters. Plandeck is built for the facilitator — quick setup, fewer interruptions, anti-anchoring blind modes, and the data you need after the sprint ends.

The problem

The facilitator pain you already know

Half your sprint planning is herding people into the call, repeating the prompt, watching the loud voice anchor everyone, and trying to stop the scope discussion before it eats the hour. Tools that just project a deck of cards do nothing about any of this.

Anti-anchoring

Three blind modes — switch mid-session

Anchoring kills estimation accuracy. Switch between three blind modes mid-session — no restart needed.
  • Normal — submitted placeholders show, values stay hidden until reveal.
  • Hide count — vote count hidden so quieter voters don't feel rushed by a fast majority.
  • Full blind — nothing shown until reveal. Best for politically sensitive estimates.

Facilitator dashboard

Built-in controls that run the session hands-free

Live vote count and confidence breakdown with no manual tally. A discussion timer with preset and custom durations stops scope creep in its tracks. Pre-load the backlog into the story queue and run the session with auto-advance. Inline notes, dependencies, and risk flags stay attached to each story for the retro.

Session recap

Recap and export after every session

Every session closes with a recap card: consensus rate, flagged stories, and one-click export. No copy-paste into a spreadsheet after the call.
  • Stories estimated, consensus rate, and flagged items in one view.
  • Per-voter accuracy compared across the sprint.
  • CSV / JSON export for retrospectives and leadership reports.
  • 90 days of history on Pro — enough to spot drift before the quarterly review.

AI — Team plan

AI Discussion Facilitator for split estimates

When estimates split, the AI Facilitator suggests targeted questions to surface the disagreement — "what's making the high estimate high?" — without forcing the scrum master to play interrogator. Available on the Team plan.

Async

When the team can't all be online

Async voting lets you run estimation as a workflow, not a meeting. Send invitations, set a deadline, and the results land in your inbox when everyone's voted. Late votes are still recorded.

Run your next refinement with less friction

Sign up takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day Pro trial — story queue, blind modes, timers, session history. The free plan keeps one room running after that.
