Your first room

What is SprintBee?

SprintBee is planning poker for agile teams: everyone privately picks an estimate for a work item, then a moderator reveals every vote at once so the team can discuss and agree on a number.

A room is a persistent planning space you can reuse sprint after sprint — you don't recreate it for every meeting.

Signing in

SprintBee uses passwordless sign-in: there's no password to create or remember.

Sign-in is only required to create or manage a room. Joining a room as a participant doesn't require an account — see "Joining as a participant" below.

1. Enter your email address.
2. Click "Send my login code."
3. Check your inbox for a 6-digit code and enter it.
4. You're signed in — new emails are set up automatically the first time you sign in, so there's no separate signup step.

Creating your first room

From the SprintBee home page or /create, sign in (if you haven't already) and fill out the create-room form.

1. Enter a room name.
2. Enter your name (or it's filled in automatically once you've set a display name in your profile).
3. Pick your own voting role — Dev, QA, or Observer.
4. Click "Create room." You're taken straight into the room.

Inviting the team

Once you're in a room, use the "Invite teammates" button in the presence rail to copy the room's join link to your clipboard — paste it into chat, email, or a calendar invite. Anyone with the link (or the room code shown alongside it) can join.

Teammates don't need a SprintBee account to join — they just need the link or the room code.

Joining as a participant

Anyone with a room link or code can join without signing in.

1. Open the invite link, or go to /join and enter the room code.
2. Enter a display name.
3. Pick a role — Dev, QA, or Observer.
4. If the room requires a password or sign-in, you'll be prompted for that before you can join.
5. Click "Join room."

Running your first round

Once your team is in the room, a round follows the same basic cycle every time:

• Queue — add the work item you want to estimate.
• Vote — each eligible participant privately picks a card.
• Reveal — the moderator reveals every vote at once so the team can discuss.
• Accept — the moderator accepts an estimate, and the item moves to history.
