You decide as a team.
Concepts like story points and processes like agile sprints are intended to create a more realistic estimate of the work a team can deliver. The process comes with tradeoffs; it won’t work for everyone. So then it’s up to them to bring it up during retrospectives and decide to either change the process or… not.
It’s important to understand that working on a team means that you just don’t get to have all the nice things that you would working individually. You gotta approach it with that mindset.

- vlovich123 5y agoOutsourcing task estimation to the team still doesn't solve the estimates are broken issue. I've not seen estimates get meaningfully better in an environment where the team collaborates on establishing the expected time for a task.
- pm90 5y agoIt’s not perfect, and importantly doesn’t claim to be. It’s something in the absence of other ways of estimation. Use whatever works best for your team. Nit: It’s not “outsourcing” in any meaningful definition of the term to have the team responsible for executing a task come up with estimates.
