Instant planning poker, right in your Slack channel
Start an estimation session on any task or Jira issue without leaving Slack. Your team votes, Troopr posts the aggregate, and you push the agreed estimate straight to the Jira issue. No new app to open, no meeting to schedule.
Free for 3 users. No credit card required. Runs in Slack.
Trusted by 600+ engineering teams worldwide
Everyone votes in the channel.
Cards stay hidden until the round closes, so the first estimate does not anchor the rest of the team.
The estimate lands on the Jira issue.
Troopr posts votes, comments, and the median, then writes the agreed number to the issue when you confirm.
Estimate a task in the time it takes to type a Slack command
Instant planning poker is built for the estimate you need right now, on one task, without pulling the team into a separate tool or a scheduled ceremony.
One command starts the session
The friction in estimation is getting everyone into the same place at the same time. Troopr removes it. Type the command in any Slack channel with a Jira issue key or a plain task summary, and the session is live where the team already is.
- Estimate a Jira issue or an ad-hoc task- Pass a Jira issue key to pull in the issue, or just a summary for work that is not ticketed yet.
- No scheduling, no separate room- The session opens in the channel on demand. Nobody installs anything or follows a link to vote.
- Issue context comes along- When you estimate a Jira issue, its summary and details show up in the session so people vote on the same thing.
Vote the way your team already estimates
Teams do not agree on a single scale, and they should not have to switch tools to use the one they like. Pick a built-in deck or define your own set of cards for the session.
Fibonacci
Modified Fibonacci
T-shirt sizes
Sequential
Your own custom deck
- Comments alongside votes- People can add a note with their card, so an outlier estimate carries its reasoning into the report.
The result is summarized in the same channel
When the round closes, Troopr compiles every vote and comment into one report posted right where the team voted. No copying numbers into a spreadsheet, no separate dashboard to open to see how the team landed.
- Votes, comments, and the spread in one place- See where the team agreed and where it split, with the reasoning attached.
- Push the estimate to the Jira issue- Set the agreed number on the issue from Slack, so the estimate lives on the ticket and not in a thread.
- Kept in history for later- The report stays available, so the team can revisit how a task was sized when the work is done.
Re-run until the team actually agrees
A wide spread is the point of the exercise, not a failure. When votes split, the discussion happens in the thread, then you re-run the same round in one click and watch the estimates converge.
- Unlimited rounds on the same task - Re-run as many times as it takes; each round produces its own aggregate.
- Discussion stays attached - The conversation that moved the estimate sits in the same thread as the votes.
Run it live when the team is together, async when it is not
An instant session works in real time when everyone is online. For distributed teams, the same poker also runs as a scheduled async check-in, so people vote when they get a moment.
Time-zone friendly
Async voting lets a distributed team estimate without finding one slot that works for every region.
Fewer interruptions
People vote when they reach a stopping point instead of breaking focus for a meeting.
Report kept on record
Troopr posts the aggregate to the channel and keeps it in history, so there is nothing to write up by hand.
Vote from anywhere
Everything happens in Slack, so people estimate from wherever they are working.
Everything else in the poker session
The details that make estimation honest and easy to keep running.
Hidden votes
Cards stay concealed until the round closes, so nobody anchors to the first number played.
Anonymous participation
Planning poker supports anonymous voting, so estimates are honest and not swayed by who voted what.
Custom decks
Use a built-in scale or define your own list of cards for the session.
Vote on a Jira key or a task
Estimate an existing Jira issue by key, or a plain summary for work that is not ticketed yet.

Do more than planning poker
Instant planning poker is one of six built-in check-in templates. Run the rest of your ceremonies the same way, in Slack.
Daily standup
FlagshipThe standup that writes itself. Troopr drafts each person's update from their real Jira, GitHub, and Slack activity and posts the team report.
Planning poker
Run recurring planning poker on a schedule to size the backlog collaboratively, then update the issues in Slack.
Retrospective
Periodic retros with a question template; collect replies and track action items for continuous improvement.
Team mood
Check how the team is feeling, spot trends over time, and act before morale becomes a problem.
Jira Issues Check-in
Prompt the team with a list of their Jira issues and action buttons; people update those issues from Slack. Also how teams run backlog refinement.
Standup bot for Slack
Async daily standups across time zones, with replies and Jira context rolled into one report.
Built to clear your security review
The privacy posture is a precondition of the product, not a later add-on. It's what makes an AI-native model safe to put in front of your team and your auditors.
- No training on customer data. Your work never trains a model.
- No storage of raw messages. Troopr derives and persists a structured set of facts about how your team works, not the raw firehose.
- Clear scope. Team channels, connected work tools, and a person's own shared activity. Troopr does not read other people's private DMs.
- OAuth and Jira permissions. Troopr authenticates via OAuth and never bypasses your Jira project, issue, or field permissions.
Questions engineering teams ask
Type the Troopr poker command in any Slack channel with a Jira issue key or a short task summary. The session opens right there, the team votes, and Troopr posts the aggregate in the same channel. Nobody has to install anything or open a separate tool to take part.
Choose from built-in decks like Fibonacci, modified Fibonacci, and T-shirt sizes, or define your own list of cards for the session. People can add a comment with their vote, so the reasoning behind an outlier estimate carries into the report.
Yes. When you estimate a Jira issue, you can set the agreed estimate on that issue from Slack once the round closes, so the number lives on the ticket and not buried in a thread.
An instant session runs in real time when the team is online together. For distributed teams, the same planning poker also runs as a scheduled async check-in, so people vote when they get a moment and Troopr compiles the report when the window closes.
A spread is useful information. The discussion happens in the thread next to the votes, then you re-run the same round in one click. You can re-run as many times as it takes for the team to converge, and each round produces its own aggregate.
Free for 5 users, no credit card. Planning poker is part of Troopr Check-ins, and all three modules, Check-ins, Projects, and Reports, are on every plan. Paid plans start at $79/mo billed annually ($99 monthly) for 15 users.
