Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cards on the table, numbers face down
Planning Poker's ritual begins its round
Each developer holds their secret guess
Story points measure complexity's mess
Fibonacci sequence guides our scale
One, two, three, five, eight without fail
Relative sizing beats the old clock's lie
Small, medium, large - let comparisons fly

[Chorus]
Points and Poker, T-shirts and days
Affinity grouping in estimation ways
Wideband Delphi brings the experts near
Velocity forecasting makes the future clear
Size it, spike it, group it, vote
These are the rhythms that keep projects afloat

[Verse 2]
T-shirt sizing when the details blur
Extra small to triple XL for sure
Affinity estimation spreads the wall
Silent sorting, clustering them all
Similar efforts gravitate and stick
Categories emerge from the logic trick
Ideal days pretend no meetings exist
Pure development time on your wishlist

[Chorus]
Points and Poker, T-shirts and days
Affinity grouping in estimation ways
Wideband Delphi brings the experts near
Velocity forecasting makes the future clear
Size it, spike it, group it, vote
These are the rhythms that keep projects afloat

[Bridge]
Wideband Delphi's anonymous dance
Multiple rounds refine every stance
Velocity tracks what teams truly deliver
Sprint by sprint, the data makes us shiver
Yesterday's weather predicts tomorrow's pace
Historical patterns we cannot erase

[Verse 3]
Convergence happens when the cards align
Outliers defend their reasoning line
Estimation's art, not science precise
Collective wisdom rolls the loaded dice
Burn down charts show the mountain's slope
Sustainable pace becomes our hope

[Chorus]
Points and Poker, T-shirts and days
Affinity grouping in estimation ways
Wideband Delphi brings the experts near
Velocity forecasting makes the future clear
Size it, spike it, group it, vote
These are the rhythms that keep projects afloat

[Outro]
Relative sizing beats absolute time
Agile estimation's paradigm
Trust the team's collective brain
Estimation games break the old chain
