1. Session moderator selects issues to estimate and shares his screen with the participants. Moderator is going to interact with the user interface on behalf of the participants.
2. Someone starts the session by taking the top issue from the deck, and places it in the middle of the virtual wall.
3. Another person picks the next issue off the top of the deck, then decides if it’s smaller or bigger than the issue already placed on the virtual wall:
   • if it’s smaller, it gets placed on the left
   • if it’s bigger, it gets placed on the right
   • if it’s around the same, then it should be placed below the already placed issue (forming a column, or a bucket)
4. Another person may:
   
   • either take another issue from the deck and place it on the virtual wall with the same rules as above
   • move a single story card already placed on the wall/table together with a comment explaining this move
5. The team continues to take turns placing issues until the deck is finally depleted.
6. All issues are on virtual wall. Now is the time to fine-tune the order by moving issues one at a time with a few words of explanation.
7. When everybody is OK with the outcome, the issues are ordered left to right, smallest to largest.
8. The last step is to assign estimation value corresponding for each column - usually using Fibonacci sequence, and save the results (by default under Story Points custom field).
