Q
What happens if there isn’t a consensus during planning poker protocol?
A
- If the estimates are not the same, the team members engage in a focused discussion to expose assumptions and misunderstandings. Typically, we start by asking the high and low estimators to explain or justify their estimates.
- After the discussion, we return to card selection and repeat until consensus is reached.
