POKER PLANNER FOR SLACK






WHAT IS THIS?

Poker Planner is a free and open-source project lets you make estimations with
planning poker technique (or scrum poker) directly in Slack, without any need of
external software. It can be a useful tool for agile remote teams. You can read
more about planning poker on wiki. This service is free in goodwill, and
hopefully will remain free. You can install the app with "Add to Slack" button
above. If you want to host your own app, please check the setup guide on Github.

FEATURES



 * Customizable poker points
 * Persistent settings for each channel/conversation: the app will remember the
   last settings you use on that channel, including participants and poker
   points.
 * Protected sessions: prevent others to reveal/cancel the sessions you've
   created.
 * Average point: calculate average point to aid decision making process .
 * The sessions are kept in database for 48 hours, after that it's completely
   gone.



USAGE

After successful installation, /pp slash command will be available in your team
workspace. It works in:


 * Public channels
 * Private channels
 * Group direct messages

Poker Planner app must be added to channel/conversation before usage. You can
add it from channel/conversation details menu, or just simply mention the app,
like @poker_planner.

anything you typed after /pp.

FAQ



 * When I try to vote, I get expired or cancelled error
   All the not-finished sessions are kept in a database for 48 hours. After that
   they're completely deleted.
 * I enter /pp command, but nothing happens?
   In order to open a modal, Slack waits an API call for 3 seconds. After that,
   Slack does not allow us to open a modal. However, due to operational
   latencies which can be caused by either Slack's or our infrastructure, it's
   normal to get this error. Please try again.



PRIVACY

Apart from that, I get lots of question about privacy, so I want to clarify what
the app can and cannot do:
 * The app does not know anything about your channels/conversations until you
   explicitly add the bot user to it.
 * Even if the bot is added to a channel, the only data that Slack sends to the
   app is channel id and channel name. Getting additional information (topic,
   member list, etc.) requires another permission that the app doesn't have.
 * The app cannot read any of your messages, even if the bot is added to that
   channel/conversation! The only thing the app can read is the poker planning
   session title you enter while using the app.
 * The app cannot list the users in your team workspace. When a user interacted
   with the app (create a new session, use a vote, etc.), Slack sends just user
   id and user name, nothing more.

SUPPORT

Since this project is open source, Github Issues is the preferred support
channel. However you can directly e-mail me too.
