Bulk Import Jira Stories Into Planning Poker
Stop copying story titles by hand. The PointPoker Chrome extension detects your open Jira tabs, imports stories into a session, and your team starts voting in seconds.
Free on Chrome Web Store · No Jira admin access required · Works with any Jira instance
How it works
Install the extension
Add PointPoker to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. It takes a few seconds and adds a small icon to your browser toolbar.
Open your Jira stories
Open your Jira sprint board, backlog, or individual issue tabs. The extension detects Jira stories from any open tab.
Import into PointPoker
Click the extension icon, select the stories you want, and click Import. A new PointPoker room is created with all stories queued and ready to vote.
Vote through the queue
Share the room link with your team. Vote through stories one by one with real-time simultaneous reveal, role-based grouping, and vote distribution charts.
Why teams use the Chrome extension
One-click bulk import
Detects every Jira story across your open browser tabs. Select all or cherry-pick the ones you need.
Works with any Jira instance
Jira Cloud, Jira Data Center, or self-hosted. If you can see it in Chrome, the extension can detect it.
Full PointPoker experience
Stories land in the web app with the complete feature set: voting timer, auto-reveal, observer mode, dark mode, and more.
No API keys or admin access
The extension reads from your browser tabs, not from the Jira API. No OAuth setup, no Jira admin permissions needed.
Real-time team voting
Share the room link or QR code. Your team joins from any device and votes in real time with simultaneous reveal.
Open to everyone
Team members who do not have Jira access can still join and vote. Only the facilitator needs the extension installed.
Perfect for sprint planning
The typical sprint planning workflow without the extension: open Jira, find a story, copy the title, switch to the poker tool, paste it, repeat 15 times. That is 10-15 minutes of admin before a single vote is cast.
With the extension: open your sprint board in Jira, click the PointPoker icon, import all stories in one click. Your team is voting in under a minute. For teams running two-week sprints, that saves 30+ minutes per month on setup alone.
Tips for large backlogs
- ✓Create a saved Jira filter for unestimated stories and bookmark it
- ✓Open only the stories you plan to estimate — the extension imports exactly what is open
- ✓Use the extension popup to cherry-pick stories if you have extra tabs open
- ✓Stories from multiple Jira projects can be imported into the same session
Frequently asked questions
How does the PointPoker Chrome extension work?
The extension scans your open browser tabs for Jira issues. When you click the extension icon, it lists every Jira story it has detected. Select the ones you want, click Import, and they are added to your PointPoker session queue. Your team then votes through them one by one.
Does the Chrome extension require Jira admin access?
No. The extension reads story titles from your open browser tabs. It does not use the Jira API, does not require OAuth, and does not need admin permissions. If you can see the Jira issue in your browser, the extension can detect it.
Which Jira versions does the extension support?
The extension works with any Jira instance you can open in Chrome: Jira Cloud, Jira Data Center, and self-hosted Jira Server. It reads from the browser tab, not from the Jira API, so there are no version restrictions.
Is the Chrome extension free?
Yes, completely free. No trial, no per-user fees, no premium tier. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and start using it immediately.
Does the extension work with the Jira Forge app?
The Chrome extension works exclusively with the PointPoker web app at pointpoker.co, not with the Jira Forge embedded panel. This is intentional — the web app provides the full feature set including story queues, session history, dark mode, and mobile access for all team members, regardless of whether they have Jira access.
