In a Scrum project, who is responsible for determining the time estimates during the project?

In a Scrum project, the responsibility for determining time estimates falls on the project team as a whole. This process occurs during the sprint planning meetings where the team collaboratively estimates the effort required for each task or user story. The Scrum Master facilitates this process, but the actual estimation is performed by the team members who will be doing the work.This collective approach ensures that estimates are realistic and based on the team's understanding and agreement.
