Three roles are available for Planning Poker mode:

Whoever creates a game automatically becomes administrator of that game.

Game administrator has access to special actions, such as:

Whoever joins a game becomes a participant.

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

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.

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.

Tip

It is easier to copy the existing JQL from the JIRA Search

You can remove some of them if necessary:

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

To join a game click "Play" button.

You will join a game as Administrator in case you are the owner, otherwise—as Participant.

If you wish to join a game as a Watcher—click "Watch".

Once the game is started, you'll see the estimation backlog:

Other participants (thecatontheflat on the screenshot) will see the same list but without "Estimate" button.

You have to pick the next ticket for estimation. If you decided which one—click "Estimate".
