The_Old_Way_Of_Running_Planning_Poker.webp

## 2nd generation tools - Integrated but copied outdated concepts 
Today, many Planning Poker vendors have integrated their solutions with tools like Jira, allowing teams to run Planning Poker directly within Jira. The problem is that these tools take the same old concepts from the first-generation solution and apply them directly within Jira. The benefits are minimal because you still need to go through all the unnecessary steps with these tools, meaning **they are still wasting your time.** 

## 3rd generation - No setup - One Click Planning Poker within the Backlog

With Smart Guess, teams estimate stories within the development Backlog and the native Jira Issue. It is **the only tool on the market** that takes this approach, and customers are delighted! Why? With Smart Guess, teams skip all of the redundant steps mentioned above. Instead, during preparation, the Scrum master reviews the backlog and gives the stories the team will refine full attention.

Using Smart Guess and the Jira Backlog for estimation requires **no setup** because Smart Guess keeps your settings from one refinement to the next. Also, with Smart Guess, **no invitations** need to be sent, as the team simply opens **the backlog**. Everyone is on the same page when estimating a story with Smart Guess because all story information gathered, designs, decisions, etc., are readily available in Jira.

Suppose you identify a missing story in your discussion. Using Smart Guess, working from the Jira backlog, you quickly add the story and keep going because you are already working from the Jira backlog.

When the team is ready to give an estimate, it's easy:
1. Giving an estimate is **One Click**.
2. The Team Lead - Shows the estimates with **One Click** 
3. Once the team decides on an estimate - Saving an estimate is **One Click**

## Are you using the free version of ScrumPoker-Online?
It might be okay to spend some of your own time. But when a large part of your development organization participates in refinement, and you use a tool that wastes their time every week for a whole year, it quickly adds up.  

For a development organization of 200 members, one minute wasted during refinement [will cost you USD 14K every year](/blog/learn-how-dev-team-of-200-can-save-more-than-USD-14k-every-year-with-smart-guess/). With Smart Guess, teams are saving many times that every year.

## Smart Guess Free -  forever free for organizations of all sizes 
With Smart Guess Free, one or two teams can use it for Free, but they are limited to 31 story point estimates per week. 

For teams who need unlimited estimates, Silent Estimation, a free demo, and a solution that is [Atlassian Fortified](https://www.atlassian.com/trust/marketplace?source=app-listing-badge), then Smart Guess Pro is for you. You can find more information on comparing the two here, [Smart Guess Free vs. Pro](https://smartguess.is/pricing/). 

## Comparing multiple tools, only one stands out
It's one thing to claim effectiveness and another to prove it. A customer moving to Smart Guess from an Online Planning Poker tool shared:
>  "We trialed Smart Guess and many other alternatives across several refinement sessions until we found one we were happy with." 

It speaks volumes about Smart Guess, which emerged as the preferred choice after multiple trials - including tools claiming 90,000 active users.

## Security and Reliability - Peace of mind for you
Unlike most other providers who host their infrastructure, Smart Guess is built on Atlassian Forge. Forge is the latest development platform created to meet customers' highest Security and Reliability demands. The Forge platform provides built-in security and Atlassian-hosted infrastructure. So, if you trust Atlassian Jira Cloud with tools and data critical for your operation, you already trust the platform Smart Guess is using—peace of mind for you.

# In summary
Smart Guess offers a seamless, straightforward, secure, and reliable solution for teams transitioning from First-generation Planning Poker tools. It ensures that the primary focus remains on refining and scoring stories without the unnecessary complexities and wasted time traditional tools mandate.
