I like Agile methodolody and everytime I try to adapt some practices from this methodolody to testing.
On that time, it's Planning Poker technique.
Benefits of this technique:
1. Estimation are wighted up
2. Everyone understand and know what timeline they will have
3. Common responsibility of made decision.
How to play:
Make group of estimators and a Moderator.

How to play:
Make group of estimators and a Moderator.
- Each estimator gets a deck of cards
- The moderator reads the description of task
- Task are discussed by team. Open points to be clarified.
- Estimators should select an estimate card and and place it face down on the table
- After all estimates are in, the cards are flipped over
- In the event that the estimates differ, the high and low estimation are discussed.
- Group briefly debates any arguments. Then estimation session repeats until decision is done.
- The moderator notes down the final estimate and the group continues with next task.
- Work Breakdown Structure should be done.
- Task should have as much information as possible.
