Estimates Without
Anchoring Bias

All votes hidden until the facilitator reveals. No anchoring. No hippo effect. Fibonacci, T-shirt, custom scales — whatever your team uses. Vote analytics surface outliers the moment cards are revealed, so discussions are targeted.

Why Teams Choose DSU

🎉

Ceremonies People Show Up For

Transform boring rituals into moments the team actually looks forward to. When ceremonies are fun, participation improves — and so does morale.

🔒

Psychological Safety Built In

Anonymous retro cards and blind poker voting remove social pressure. People share what they actually think, not what they think you want to hear.

📊

Data That Drives Decisions

Vote analytics surface mean, median, and outliers the moment cards are revealed. Standup stats and retro history keep your team honest across sprints.

// Field Reports

Teams Already in the Field

"Our standups went from 45 minutes of awkward silence to something people actually rush to attend. The Barbarian is always Nick."

— Sarah T. — Engineering Lead, Series B startup

"Planning poker used to take forever because everyone waited to see what the senior devs voted. Blind voting fixed that immediately."

— Marcus L. — Scrum Master, Fintech

"The phase-based facilitation kept our retro on track for the first time ever. Brainstorm, group, vote, discuss — no more 90-minute freeform chaos."

— Priya K. — Staff Engineer

"I send the standup share link to the group chat every morning. Someone always screenshots their role. We have a whole album of 'Barbarian Nick.'"

— James O. — Tech Lead

// Frequently Asked

Got Questions?

Do I need a separate account per ceremony?

No. One DSU account gives your team access to all three — Standup, Planning Poker, and Retrospectives. Everything lives under your workspace.

How does Planning Poker work for async teams?

Rooms stay open until the facilitator closes them. Teammates can vote whenever they're online. The facilitator reveals votes when everyone's in — works across timezones.

Can we run multiple teams in one workspace?

Yes. Each company workspace supports multiple teams. Poker rooms and retro boards are scoped to a specific team, so the Eng team and QA team stay in their own lanes.

Is our data private?

Standup stories, poker votes, and retro cards are stored securely per workspace. Other tenants can't see your data. Retro anonymous mode hides card authors even from the facilitator until the board closes.

What retro templates are included?

Eight built-in: Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls, Mad/Sad/Glad, Sailboat, Starfish, Rose/Thorn/Bud, KPT, and Good/Bad/Next Steps. Team leads can also create custom templates with any columns they want.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — no lock-in. Cancel from your billing settings and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period.

// Final Boss

Your Team is
Ready to Level Up

Standups worth waking up for. Poker that surfaces real disagreements. Retros that actually change how your team works.
