YTI – Magic Estimation & Affinity Sizing for Jira

YTI Magic Estimation adds Magic Estimation sessions to Jira, also known as silent grouping or affinity estimation. Create a session in a project from a JQL query (up to 100 issues), pick a scale and the field to write to. Everyone sorts the issues into size columns on their own, by drag and drop, click and click or keys 1 to 9, and nobody sees anyone else’s placements until the facilitator reveals them. The results put the issues whose votes spread over three or more columns first; everything else starts at the median vote. The facilitator keeps or changes each value and writes them to Story Points or any number field in one click. Runs on Atlassian Forge and nothing leaves Atlassian: issues are read with each person’s own permissions, estimates are written with the facilitator’s.
