Re: [ScrumChina] when to use planning poker ?

pre-planning meeting is held for every iteration, 2-3 days before. Normally Monday is planning meeting, then Wednesday in previous week is selected for this pre-planning meeting.

Originally we don't have this meeting, and the whole team discuss with PO to clarify the requirement, it is waste.

Therefore in this pre-planning meeting, 2-3 people who foresee will work on this tasks with join this discussion, and bring feedback to the team. It save a lot of time practically. And this is not official meeting, normally people will stay up to discuss.

I suppose your "pre-planning meeting" is similar as a backlog
refinement (or grooming) meeting? (meaning looking abour 2-3 sprints
ahead).

Why did you 'optimize' it to have only 2-3 people, this will lead to
another hand-off to the rest of the team later?
