In advance of the estimation session, the team agreed on some ground rules to limit the number of poker rounds and save time. The team agreed on the following: 1. They will use the following progression for estimation: Extra-small, Small, Medium, Large, Extra- large, and Extra-extra-large. 2.

In a planning poker session, if there is a significant difference in the estimations, it indicates that there may be misunderstandings or different perspectives on the complexity of the user story. According to the agile principles, the team should discuss these differences to reach a common understanding. The goal is to ensure that all team members have a shared understanding of the user story's scope and complexity before finalizing the estimate  .
