Agile Estimate

Agile Estimate is a really useful tool for software developers, testers, team leaders and product managers who work in Agile environments.

It's a customisable set of agile planning cards for your device. Throw away those annoying playing cards, and use your phone or tablet!

Agile Estimate contains card sets for numerous Agile methodologies, such as Scrum, XP and Crystal. You should use the card set(s) that match the methodology you employ. You can choose which card sets to show from the Preferences tab.

The cards represent a number of points, or effort. Team members choose the card they feel best reflects the effort they would need to put in to complete a story. To choose a card, simply scroll through the list or search for a card, then tap it to display it full-screen. You can display the cards in portrait or landscape.

Included card sets:

• Double: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 representing effort doubling at each step
• Effort: 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 ... 10
• Fibonacci: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89
• General: ? (unknown), infinity (undefinably lengthy, probably an epic, break the story down), pi (undefinable), a Coffee Break card to signify you want a break in the estimation process, Too Small (should this even be a story?), and Too Big (break it down).
• Linear: 0 ... 10
• Poker: 0, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100
• T-Shirt Sizes: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL

Pro tips:

• When your chosen card is displayed, swipe up or down with one finger to change your estimate without going back to the list, i.e. if 1.5 effort is displayed swiping up increases the estimate to 1.75; swiping down decreases it to 1.25.
• You can swipe left and right to add a "d" or "h" to the card to show you mean effort in days or hours. There's a control in the card list that lets you set it to always be "h", "d" or blank.
• Swipe down with two fingers to hide your card.

Agile Estimate is a simple - gorgeous - app, and it's totally free.
