PockerDeck

PockerDeck is a lightweight, real-time Planning Poker app for agile teams.
No account, no sign-up — create a room, share the link, and start estimating immediately.

  • Instant rooms

    Spin up a voting session in one click. Share the 8-character code or URL with your team.

  • Real-time WebSockets

    Every vote and reveal is pushed to all participants instantly — no polling, no refreshes.

  • Private until revealed

    Votes stay hidden until the host clicks Reveal. Prevents anchoring bias.

  • Roles — Admin, Participant, Viewer

    Room creator is Admin. Joiners choose Participant or Viewer. Admins can kick, rename, and manage the backlog.

  • Backlog management

    Add stories before creating the room. The Admin picks which item is being voted; completed items are marked Done.

  • Fully Dockerised

    Single-container app. Runs anywhere Docker is available — local or production.

How it works

  1. One team member opens PockerDeck, optionally adds Backlog Items and picks an Estimation Type, then clicks + Create Room — becoming the Admin.
  2. Everyone else joins using the room code or the shared URL and picks a role (Participant or Viewer).
  3. The Admin selects the first backlog item (or types a story description manually) — it is shared with everyone instantly.
  4. Each participant clicks a card to cast their vote.
  5. Any participant or the Admin clicks Reveal — all votes appear at once.
  6. The results panel shows the average, minimum, and maximum estimates.
  7. Click New Round to reset votes and keep estimating, or the Admin picks the next backlog item.
  8. Once a story is fully estimated, the Admin clicks ✓ Mark Done on it in the Backlog panel.
