would be nice to have an integration with a planning poker app to build tasks in the same app

+1 Love or hate planning poker it is a good way to get the entire team to estimate in a conversation. It would be great to get this implemented, it is a tool we use every sprint in Jira.

Planning Poker would be a great addition to Clickup so it can be our team's one stop resource for agile project management.
This exercise is great for productive conversations since it allows the team to honestly talk about task challenges without being influenced by peer pressure when estimating.
Since I'm working remotely, it's difficult to do agile estimates in real time without having online tools to support agile planning. Most online planning poker games only integrate with Jira, have annoying UI, or are cumbersome to use because they are not built into existing team platforms for project management.
If Clickup releases this feature, I would like:
- The points (cards) would correlate with the existing custom field already being used for agile story point estimations. Or at the least let pointing scales be customizable to the team(s).
- Tasks can be filtered into the game so there's no additional work to manually enter them.
- Average the score and allow editing afterwards. Ideally would round up the average based on the team's point system.
- Built in game timer
- Show the cards all at once after everyone on the team has picked their cards and/or allow the moderator to show the cards all at once. (There are existing games allow you to see other's cards after you've played - and allows you to change. That defeats the point of this exercise.)
- Track average scoring of the points so the metric can be used for determining/monitoring the team's velocity.
- Give some visual feedback about agreement (point scoring average on the team) after each turn. This could help prompt needed discussion and alleviate responsibility on the facilitator/moderator to point it out. ex: "Happy face" if mostly in agreement and "?" if there's a wide range of disagreement.

Alex Leon-Khan: Hi! Alex, you spoke very well. We have this issue too, online meetings are not "planning poker friendly" I hope the dev team can see this application: https://planningpokeronline.com/
and get it as an inspiration to do on ClickUp
