Planning Poker in RTC?

2
Mark Wainwright (46●13●7) | asked Nov 06 '09, 10:48 a.m.
A lot of scrum teams use planning poker as a way of doing team-based sizings for the user stories they are planning.

Is there any work planned in RTC to support planning poker in the product or are there any plug-ins that are available for doing this?

There are a few tools external to the product to help teams run planning poker sessions, but you need to export/import your story definitions and then copy back the final story point sizing you agreed back into RTC, so there's some wasted time in this process.

I searched, but didn't find an enhancement that addresses this? Is there one? Should I open one?

Thanks!
Mark

Heres a dirt simple way to do planning poker in RTC:

1. Add a planning poker task to the store to be estimated
2. Subordinate to the planning poker task, add one task for each developer who will be doing the estimating
3. Have the developers open their respective tasks and enter their estimates. On signal, have them hit their save button to save the estimate value.
4. The scrum master displays and projects a screen with the story, planning poker tasks, and individual developer estimation tasks. The scrum master does a refresh after all the developers have done the save, and the developer estimates are displayed
5. When complete, the consensus estimate can be displayed for the planner poker task.
6. The planning poker is then part of the permanent record for the story.

Hi Mark, Dr. Laurie Williams of NC State has some of her students developing an RTC planning poker plug-in. You can follow their progress at http://agile.csc.ncsu.edu/wolfpoker . If you would like more information, please contact Millard Ellingsworth.

 Are there any updates on this topic? I have a customer that's familiar with Planning Poker and is looking for an easy way to do this in RTC.
