FAQ
Why does Planning Poker use Fibonacci numbers?
Fibonacci numbers spread out as estimates grow, which helps teams show uncertainty on larger or riskier stories.
Which Fibonacci deck should I use?
Most teams can start with a simplified 0 to 21 deck. Use the full deck only if your team regularly estimates larger items and still finds the extra values useful.
