Mobile Friendly Planning Poker: Story Pointing on Phone
30-40% of remote team members join estimation sessions from mobile devices—walking to school pickup, between meetings, or from coffee shops. When your planning poker tool requires desktop, you're excluding participants or forcing awkward "can you read the cards to me?" workarounds.
Mobile Estimation Challenges
- Tiny tap targets: Card buttons too small for thumbs
- Horizontal scroll: Fibonacci sequence doesn't fit in viewport
- Desktop-first layouts: Sidebar collapses main content to unusable width
- Poor contrast: Unreadable in sunlight
WCAG 2.1 guidelines require 44x44 pixel minimum tap targets. Most planning poker tools fail this basic usability standard.

- Large card buttons (60px height) easy to tap with thumbs
