Why teams switch

Less card clutter. More momentum.

The portal now mirrors the product better: clear outcomes, visual variety, and a stronger story around why the bot fits modern delivery teams.

Stay in the conversation

People vote where they are already discussing the work. That keeps energy in the room and cuts drop-off from extra tabs.

Keep sessions moving

Use defaults for countdowns and voting style, then let auto-close and reveal handle the repetitive parts.

Upgrade with context

Quota visibility, team linking, and billing stay connected so the portal feels operational, not confusing.

Built for planning rituals

Everything your team needs for a smooth estimation loop.

The experience is designed around the moments that usually create friction: starting the vote, keeping attention, revealing at the right time, and picking up where a session stopped.

Quick launch from the channel Start the session from a simple command and bring the right teammates in immediately.
Flexible reveal rules Pick open or hidden voting depending on whether your team needs speed or bias protection.
Resume, redo, or reveal later If the meeting shifts, you can recover the session without losing the thread.

Role-based benefits

Useful for every part of the delivery team.

Different roles care about different outcomes. The landing page should make that obvious at a glance.

Scrum Masters

Keep facilitation light while the bot handles the repetitive cadence work.

  • Countdown defaults reduce manual timeboxing.
  • Auto-close keeps the room from drifting.
  • Resume and redo commands help when the agenda changes.

Product Owners

Turn discussion into clearer backlog decisions without slowing the meeting.

  • Start from a ticket or story reference to anchor the conversation.
  • See who has voted and when it is safe to reveal.
  • Quota clarity makes future planning simple for workspace admins.

Developers

Join, vote, and get back to the work without switching to another estimation product.

  • No new interface to learn outside the Teams cards.
  • Hidden voting supports more honest estimates when the room is senior-heavy.
  • Works well for in-office, remote, and mixed-device teams.
