The free scheduling poll for sprint planning
Timespree is a free sprint planning scheduler for scrum teams. Finding an uninterrupted two-hour block for the whole team, product owner, and QA is harder than a quick sync, so share one link, let everyone mark their free time, and read the block off the heatmap.
No account required to respond. Your poll link is ready in under a minute.

Why scheduling this is hard
Sprint planning needs a long, uninterrupted block, and long blocks are exactly what's hardest to find on packed calendars.
The product owner, devs, and QA all need to attend, so one missing role means re-scheduling the whole ceremony.
For a distributed scrum team, a two-hour block has to fit inside a narrow cross-zone overlap window.
How the poll works
Create your poll
Pick the dates and time range you want to offer. Your shareable link is ready in under a minute.
Share one link
Send it wherever your group already talks. Nobody needs an account to respond, on any device.
Read the heatmap
Every response shades the grid. The darkest slot is your time. Done.
Why Timespree fits
Built for longer blocks
Set the poll to a two-hour duration and the heatmap shows where a full planning block fits, not just a spare 30 minutes.
Get every role in the room
One link collects availability from the product owner, developers, and QA, so the winning block is one the whole ceremony can actually attend.
Calendar overlay while responding
Team members overlay Google, Outlook, or Apple busy times so the planning block doesn't collide with a demo or another team's ceremony.
Fits the cross-zone overlap
A distributed team shades local hours and Timespree converts, so the long block lands inside the real overlap window everyone shares.
A real example
A scrum team of eight across Toronto and Kraków plans in two-week sprints. Before the next sprint, the scrum master creates a Timespree poll for two-hour blocks across three candidate days. The product owner, five devs, and QA shade their free afternoons; the heatmap lands on Monday 9–11 AM Toronto (3–5 PM Kraków), the one long block that fits the overlap for the whole team.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I find a two-hour sprint planning slot?
- Create a Timespree poll set to a two-hour duration across your candidate days. Everyone marks when they're free and the heatmap shows where a full block fits for the most people, so you protect a real planning window, not a rushed half hour.
- How do I make sure the product owner and QA can attend?
- Share the one link with the whole ceremony, including the product owner and QA. The heatmap only shades a block as strong when those people are free, so you can see the winning slot has full role coverage before you book it.
- Does this work for a distributed scrum team?
- Yes. Each member shades their availability in their own time zone and Timespree converts, so the two-hour block lands inside the overlap window that genuinely works for every location.
