Introducing a No-Fuss Scrum Poker Tool for Agile Teams

In the world of Agile project management, having a reliable and unobtrusive Scrum Poker app can significantly streamline planning sessions. Recognizing the challenges with existing solutions—such as intrusive ads, restrictive access, and cost barriers—I took the initiative to develop a straightforward, ad-free alternative.

This lightweight application allows team members to participate effortlessly through guest login, enabling quick and anonymous voting on story points for user stories. Unlike many popular tools, it’s entirely free and designed with simplicity in mind, avoiding unnecessary complexities and restrictions.

My team previously used a different platform, but it was plagued by frequent ads and browser compatibility issues—especially when trying to run it in browsers like Brave with ad blockers. This prompted me to create a solution that minimizes such obstacles, ensuring a smoother experience across various environments.

Beyond just building a practical tool, I aim to develop more specialized, free resources that help users avoid subscription overload for basic needs. Experimenting with technologies like Mercure not only enhanced my understanding of real-time protocols but also added a valuable skill to my toolkit.
