Hello All,

I knew estimation for user stories is given by dev team,

But I would lie to confirm as a scrum master do i need to support dev team by using any estimating techniques for spikes ?

If so what estimation technique or tool can I use it.

Shouldn’t the Development Team be wholly responsible for whatever they choose to estimate, and however they choose to do it? 

Do they wish to estimate “spikes” at all? Might they prefer to time-box them instead, for example?

How does your team do it now ? are there any issues your team have with current technique they use ?
