Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's the era of agile development methodology. And most products are getting developed under agile development cycle. One of the important ceremonies from agile scrum is story estimation, to estimate what complexity a story is supposed to be. And that needs to be estimated unanimously or by a whole team together using Poker and after estimation Jira should be updated in this respect. So yeah a lot of manual tasks seem to be done during Sprint Planning ceremony. And one more issue was planning poker game can be well played under the same roof only, and in this pandemic situation work from home is being practiced. So to address both the issues we can use DevSamurai Remote Agile Planning Poker which can be played from any remote location, virtually sharing the estimations and automatic recording estimation directly to the Jira ticket.

Pros and Cons

Estimating the stories by each and every team member as per the understanding in from remote location itself.
Integrating same with the JIRA to record the estimations, that's all in an automatic way, no manual interventions are required.
Estimation of the stories in agile can be done without leaving the tool JIRA.
It's quite easy and simple to use and implement.

Live chat box feature need to be improvised as it still not robust.
Integration module should be flexible enough to stick with other workflow tools.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited:

Estimation of user stories in agile team.
Recording the estimations and events directly to JIRA.
Estimations can be done without leaving JIRA.
Best suitable in this pandemic situation as most of the people are working remotely.
Different estimation scales are present to adapt as per the team norms for example Fibonacci, T-shirt sizing and custom estimations as well.

Scenarios where it is less suitable:

Where only inbuilt chat box from DevSamurai is used. So synchronization is an issue there.
And apart from that a consistent internet connectivity is required.

Most Important Features

Estimation of user stories.
Customizations as per the norm for estimation points.
Working from remote is not a problem at all.
Estimations of user stories can be done without leaving JIRA, so it's a wholesome package.
Recording and binding estimation events directly to the JIRA automatically.
Charts representation for better analysis of whole estimation process.

Return on Investment

Estimation of user stories and updating the JIRA is automated and hence resulted in reduced efforts in poker planning.
No need to be present under same roof for estimation, and hence a flexibility which is much required in this scenario.
Clients can have a clear and better picture of estimation at any time with all statistics and hence customer sees more transparency.

Likelihood to Recommend

I don't know if it's lost elsewhere to plan poker. I teach as the only application, I never felt the need to look for alternatives. Interface boy is crazy. He can complete projects without getting bored with features such as interface breaks displayed on the platform. It will be very efficient if there is a feature to download or save the work done.
