  Planning poker, also known as Scrum poker, is a consensus-based, gamified estimation method that is most commonly used in software development to estimate effort or relative size of development goals. Instead of speaking aloud, members of the group make estimates by placing numbered cards face-down on the table during planning poker. The cards are unveiled, followed by a discussion of the estimates. The group can avoid the cognitive bias of anchoring, which occurs when the first number spoken aloud sets a precedent for subsequent estimates, by hiding the figures in this way. How to play Scrum Poker? The prod u ct owner or customer reads an agile user story or explains a feature to the estimators to begin a poker planning session. Each estimator has a deck of Planning Poker cards with values such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, and 100, which is the recommended sequence. The numbers reflect the estimated number of story points, perfect days, or other units by the team. The estima...

To put it another way, “the better the bug tracking tool, the better the product quality.” Defect management tools vs. Code review tools I believe you have get ...

It is assumed that the final result is right if each phase is done correctly. Microsoft uses the Waterfall method and it works well.

Agile is an a p proach that helps one iterate on processes in the Software Development Life Cycle, such as development, testing, and so on.
