Planning poker and magic estimation for Jira Cloud, built on Forge

Planning Poker & Magic Estimation for Jira by Bitwerf gives your team three ways to estimate in one app: live planning poker for refinement meetings, async voting for teams that are not in one room, and a magic estimation board to size a whole backlog in minutes. The results go straight into Jira.

The app is on its way to the Atlassian Marketplace. Email hello@bizzkitt.ai if you want to hear when it is available.

What you get

• Planning poker: one issue at a time, cards hidden until the reveal, with spread, average, median and consensus
• Async poker: everyone votes on the whole backlog in their own time
• Magic estimation: one shared board, drag every issue to the column with its estimate
• Fibonacci, modified Fibonacci, powers of two, T-shirt sizes, time or your own cards
• Saves to story points, the original time estimate or a text field, as the moderator
• Issues picked with JQL, up to 100 per session and 60 people
• Built on Forge with Forge storage only and no external calls, eligible for Runs on Atlassian

Moving from an older estimation app

Atlassian ends support for apps built on the older Connect platform on 31 January 2027 (Atlassian announcement). Several widely used planning poker and magic estimation apps for Jira Cloud are still Connect apps. Switching is simple, because your estimates are in Jira fields and not in the app:

1. Install Planning Poker & Magic Estimation for Jira by Bitwerf from the Atlassian Marketplace.
2. Start a session and choose the same field your team uses now.
3. Remove the old app when your team has made the switch.

Questions

Can other people see my card before the reveal?

No. Until the moderator reveals the cards, the app only tells the others that you voted. Your card is not sent to their browser.

Which fields can it fill?

Any number field (Story Points, Story point estimate), the original time estimate, or a single-line text field. You can also run a session without saving anything in Jira.

Does it work for team-managed and company-managed projects?

Yes. You choose the field per session, so both kinds of story point fields work.

Do we lose the estimates we already have?

No. Estimates live in your Jira fields. A session reads the current value and only changes an issue when the moderator saves a result.

What happens when Connect support ends?

Atlassian ends support for Connect apps on 31 January 2027. Planning Poker & Magic Estimation for Jira by Bitwerf is built on Forge, the platform Atlassian supports going forward.
