About this tool
How it works.
Set the team count to half your roster and deal, which gives you pairs, or one trio if the number is odd. Ten names becomes five pairs in a single deal. Saved lists let you keep one roster per squad and switch between them without retyping, and Export CSV records who paired with whom last sprint.
Everything is editable. Replace the list with your own, weight an entry by adding x3 after it, or switch draw modes above the entry box. Nothing is saved to a server, so your list stays in this browser.
What people use it for
- Rotating pairs each sprint
- Assigning code review buddies
- Pairing new hires with seniors
Tip
Keep last week’s pairs somewhere you can check and re-deal if the same two come up, since the deck has no memory of previous pairings.
