SprintPoker Session Layout

1. π Session Toolbar
Located at the top of your session, this area allows moderators to control estimation flow.

Save & Next β Saves estimation and moves to the next issue
Additional controls include: Timer, AI hints, session status (Poker/Async, Public/Private), and participant count.
2. π΄ Estimation Card Deck
Each user sees this card deck and selects their estimation value.
Values are customizable based on session setup and tied directly to your selected Jira estimation field.
3. π€ AI Hint Button (Moderator Only)
If enabled, moderators can trigger an AI-powered estimation suggestion.
Optionally, auto-trigger can be enabled so AI hints appear automatically per issue.
4. π§ Reference Issues Panel
Manually selected by the moderator, reference issues act as known benchmarks. These are past completed tickets relevant to the issue being estimated.
5. π Matching Issues (Dynamic)
When a user hovers over an estimation card, this section instantly shows previously completed tickets with the same estimate.
This real-time comparison helps guide accurate, evidence-backed estimates.
6. π Issue List (Bottom Panel)
Displays all issues selected for the session.
Moderator can choose what issue to estimate next.
Users can scroll through to preview session scope.
Issues are grouped by sprint, backlog, or custom filters.
7. π Jira Ticket Details Panel (Right Sidebar)
Clicking on an issue opens the right panel for in-depth information.
Fully customizable to show Jira fields like Story Points, Assignee, Labels, etc.
Click the βοΈ icon to configure visible fields per user preference.
8. β Estimation Summary & Vote Breakdown
Once the moderator finishes the voting period, all estimates are revealed and SprintPoker presents a clear estimation summary view for the current issue.
This summary helps the team quickly understand voting patterns and reach consensus, showing:
Most voted value (highlighted for clarity)
Average (mean) estimate
Median estimate
Mode (most common value)
Highest and lowest estimates
Total voters and sum of estimates
A vote distribution chart visualizing how estimates were spread across values
The moderator can use this view to:
Facilitate discussion when estimates vary widely
Decide whether to accept the estimate or re-run voting
Confidently save the agreed value back to Jira before moving to the next issue
This breakdown turns raw votes into actionable insight, making estimation decisions faster, clearer, and more data-driven.
9. User Sidebar (Participants & Status Panel)
Located on the far right of the session, this sidebar provides real-time visibility into everyone participating in the estimation.
In its collapsed view, it shows:
All users in the session
Online / offline status indicators
Each userβs role (Moderator, Participant, or Observer)
Estimation status:
βοΈ Tick icon if the user has submitted an estimate (but votes are not yet revealed)
Revealed estimation value once voting is complete
Clear visibility into who is still outstanding
This helps the moderator quickly identify who has or hasnβt voted and keeps the session moving smoothly.
The sidebar is expandable, unlocking additional controls and details:
Promote or demote users between Observer, Participant, and Moderator
Add new participants to the session
Remove users from the session if needed
View role assignments and user details in one place
