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

Whoever joins a game becomes a participant.

Participants are displayed in the list of current players and are required to cast their votes.

Watcher

It is possible to join a game as a watcher, just to observe.

As the role suggests, watchers are not displayed in the list and they can't cast votes.

Creating a Game

To create a game click on the appropriate button:

A form for the new game will appear. 

All fields are self-explanatory.

In the "JQL" field you need to specify a JQL filter from your JIRA instance.

All issues from that filter will be imported.

You can remove some of them if necessary:

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