Poker planning is a method of estimating effort complexity within Agile teams. It focuses on removing biases with a goal of describing team velocity through a small statistical analysis rather than human intuition.
You can read more about this methodology on Wikipedia:
As a team we were searching for an app to do some poker planning and were always stopped by paywalls. This is why we decided to solve the problem ourselves, host it and open-source it.
- Make sure you have docker installed
- Navigate inside this repo and run
docker compose up. If you want to detach your terminal window from thedocker compose upyou can rundocker compose up -d - Navigate to
localhost:3000to see the front end app locally.
- Open a bash terminal inside this folder.
- Execute
run.dev.shscript. - You can find the app in
localhost:3000. - Any change inside the ui folder should be automatically reflected on the site.
The application consists of a simple Go web api and a Front End UI created with SolidJS. While our experience lies heavily in the JavaScript (NodeJS, Angular, Typescript) ecosystem, we always like to try new technologies.
The application is fairly simple. There is no database layer, every piece of information is saved in web api's memory. There is no persistent logging outsite of the container logs.
We undestand that when planning information might include sensitive data from a company perspective. This is why we decided to open source our app under Apache Licence so that you have the option for you to self-host it so that you have complete control of your data.
