## 2. Stop wasting time on tasks of no value
Traditional planning poker tools require a setup for every refinement session, eating into valuable time that could be spent on tasks of substance. In contrast, Smart Guess requires No-setup, as teams initiate Planning Poker refinement discussions directly from the Jira backlog.

### Key points:
- **No setup.** Teams start refinement without repetitive setup, saving time and increasing productivity. 
- **Saves money.** [Learn how 1 minute saved during a refinement pays back $14.000 / year](/blog/learn-how-dev-team-of-200-can-save-more-than-USD-14k-every-year-with-smart-guess/) for a 200-member development organization. Smart Guess saves so much more than one minute and does it fifty-two weeks a year, every year.
- **Efficient.** 'Smart Guess is not only the most efficient but the best app we've used.', customer review.

## 3. Covering all your estimation needs
Unlike many Planning poker tools that typically offer only one estimation method, Smart Guess covers all your estimation needs. It incorporates Planning Poker, asynchronous Planning Poker, and Bucket Estimation.

### Key points:
- **Async. Planning Poker.** 'The most efficient app for asynchronous Planning Poker', customer review. 
- **Planning Poker.** 'After trying many planning estimation tools in Jira, we landed on Smart Guess.', customer review 
- **Bucket Estimates.** Relative estimates, at their best. Simply ask, is the story bigger or smaller than 3, 5, or 8? With Smart Guess you simply drag and drop, and that's it.



Silent Estimation by Smart Guess allows teams to estimate large number of stories faster

## 4. Security and Reliability 
Unlike most other providers who host their own infrastructure. Smart Guess is built on Atlassian Forge, the latest development platform created to meet the highest Security and Reliability demands customers set. 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.

### Key points: 
- **Hosted by Atlassian.** Smart Guess customer data is hosted and operated by Atlassian. 
- **Built for the future.** Atlassian built the Forge platform for the future: 
> "A large reason why we are building Forge is to address security, trust, and compliance requirements in our customer's journey to the cloud. ", Daniel Winter-Wijntjes, Atlassian Engineering Manager. 

In essence, Smart Guess isn't just another story point estimation tool; it's a solution built with user satisfaction and convenience. The frustration users reported with traditional tools inspired us at Smart Guess.
