Conclusion

You had clearly learned a lot studying about Planning Poker and then writing about it. It is indeed an useful tool for reaching consensus in team's estimations!  The most difficult part of this week seemed to be the comparison. More often than not it's a good idea to combine using both expert and algorithmic models.

Generally expert estimates are more popular in software industry, and agile methods use them only. They may work better for uncertain situations, too. However, with more similarity between projects it can be useful to rely more on algorithmic estimation.
