This has benefits and downsides. One of the one hand, the development team getting to control the estimate helps to control the workload.
On the other, I agree. Why are we pulling estimates of effort out of thin air? Why are we being asked how long it will take to do work in sections of code we have never seen?
Planning could be far more accurate if we just got a proposed task list a day before planning.
