You do understand that an estimate is not a guarantee and should not be treated as one, correct?

Planning poker is a sham. Between the abilities of variours sw engineers, their experience level and the knowledge in the area that needs to be touched almost any estimate can be given. In really it's just a way to create peer pressure and extract more value from people.
