By gamifying the planning process, it makes estimation more effective, participatory, and accurate. This method provides significant advantages, especially for companies managing multidisciplinary and complex projects. In this article, we will explore the fundamentals of Scrum Poker, why it is preferred in high-technology projects, and how it can be used in the development processes of the <strong>BioAffix<\/strong> product family developed by <strong>Ones Technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"371\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.bioaffix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CrispPlanningPokerDeck.webp?fit=506%2C371&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3337\" style=\"width:810px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.bioaffix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CrispPlanningPokerDeck.webp?w=506&amp;ssl=1 506w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.bioaffix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CrispPlanningPokerDeck.webp?resize=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Scrum-Poker-Nedir?\">What is Scrum Poker?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scrum Poker is a group estimation technique used to determine the estimated effort of a task or user story. In this method, each team member individually selects a card that represents the perceived complexity of the task. The cards usually follow the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on. These numbers represent the estimated workload of a task or project. Depending on the team\u2019s approach, they may be associated with time, difficulty, uncertainty, complexity, or technical risk. Each participant selects a card privately from the deck. The selected cards are then kept hidden and collected in a physical or digital environment. Once the moderator ends the voting round, all cards are revealed at the same time. After the cards are revealed, participants who selected the lowest and highest values are usually invited to explain their reasoning first. The differences between estimates are discussed. If the team aims to analyze the topic more deeply, the voting process can be repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method was first suggested by James Grenning in 2002 and became widely known after Mike Cohn\u2019s book <em>Agile Estimating and Planning<\/em> was published in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cEstimation is not just a number; it is the product of shared understanding.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 Mike Cohn<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Scrum Poker cards, the estimation process becomes more interactive and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"529\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.bioaffix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/planning-poker-correct-steps-1.webp?fit=768%2C529&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3341\" style=\"width:810px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.bioaffix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/planning-poker-correct-steps-1.webp?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.bioaffix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/planning-poker-correct-steps-1.webp?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scrum Poker Process: Step by Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Preparation: The Project Manager Explains the Topic<\/strong><br>Bu a\u015fama, t\u00fcm s\u00fcrecin temelini olu\u015fturur.
