Roles
Three roles are available for Planning Poker mode:
- Administrator
- Participant
- Watcher
Administrator
Whoever creates a game automatically becomes administrator of that game.
Game administrator has access to special actions, such as:
- Start a countdown timer
- Finish round
- Open all cards
- Move issue to the end of the backlog
- Remove issue from the backlog
- Export estimation results to JIRA
Participant

Once you are satisfied with the estimation backlog, click "Start".
