Sprint Labs is an interactive planning poker and backlog estimation extension built natively for Azure DevOps. It streamlines sprint planning sessions by allowing teams to collaboratively estimate backlog items in real time.
Key Features
Live Estimation Rooms: Create collaborative estimation sessions directly within your Azure DevOps project hub.
Unweighted Backlog Fetching: Instantly pull only unestimated or unweighted items (Effort, Story Points, Size) across Scrum, Agile, and Basic process templates.
Flexible Voting Scales: Support for standard Fibonacci, 1–5, 1–10, and custom sizing scales.
Consensus & Resolution Modes: Automatic calculation of mode/consensus with tools for manual tiebreaks.
Direct Work Item Sync: Write finalized estimates and priorities directly back into Azure DevOps work item fields without leaving the hub.
Team & Sprint Scoping: Easily filter and scope work items by team area paths and active iterations.
How It Works
Launch a Game: Open Sprint Labs from the Azure DevOps project navigation and start a new estimation game.
Add Work Items: Automatically populate unweighted backlog items or search by ID and title.
Vote & Estimate: Team members cast estimates in real-time.
Finalize: Reveal votes, reach consensus, and save the agreed estimate straight to the work item.
