Agile Poker for Jira Data Center allows collaborative estimation for Kanban boards as well as Scrum boards. However, unlike Scrum boards, Kanban boards in Jira Data Center don't have built-in support for estimation fields.

This page explains how to configure Agile Poker for use with Kanban boards.

Important Note: This functionality is only available in the recent versions of Agile Poker for Jira Data Center.

Configuring the estimation field

  1. Navigate to your kanban board configuration by clicking Board > Configure.

  2. From the sidebar, click Agile Poker.

  3. Find the Estimation Statistic dropdown menu. This menu allows you to choose an existing field or create a new custom field to store your estimation values (story points, hours, etc.).

  4. Configure the Estimation values. For more information, refer to this documentation.

Once you've configured the estimation field, this will add the Story Points item to the issues in the Kanban board. Then you can launch an Agile Poker session directly from your Kanban board and start estimating.
