what's your estimate?
5Probably. Async pre-sprint estimation that calls it.
Range 3 → 8 · 2 buckets apart · the gap is the conversation
Async pre-sprint estimation for software teams that already use Jira and Slack. Estimators submit privately. The reveal shows the spread. The team talks about the gap. No anchoring, no synchronous calls, no spreadsheets.
Estimates stay private until you submit
The first vote can't drag the team toward it. Reveal only lifts after each estimator has saved their own answer — or until the per-session time-lock expires, so early submitters can't peek before everyone's in.
Pick now, estimate later, reveal whenever
Observers queue tickets in the morning. Teammates estimate on their own schedule. No 30-minute meeting where half the team is muted.
Tickets from Jira, discussion in Slack
Sign in with Atlassian. Pull tickets via Jira typeahead. Post discussion threads to your existing Slack channels. No new tab to live in.
The artifact writes itself
When you close a session, Slack gets a structured spread report: ticket counts, points, contested items ranked by how widely the team disagreed, plus a deep link straight to the dot plot for each one. The conversation walks in with the agenda already written.
