This is a classic case of 'too many cooks in the kitchen.' Why don't they just arm-wrestle to determine the estimate? That would be a lot more entertaining than arguing about it.

D) 8 days is the way to go. The Scrum Master knows best, and they always pad the estimates to account for unexpected delays. Better safe than sorry!

In my opinion, we should go with the highest estimate to account for any potential risks or uncertainties. So, I would choose eight days.

I agree with Mauricio, we should take the average of all estimates to be fair.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The Lead Architect's estimate of 2 days seems a bit too optimistic. I'd go with the team member's estimate of 7 days to be on the safe side.

But what about the Product Owner's estimate of five days? Shouldn't we consider that too?

I think the correct answer is B) 5 days. The Product Owner's estimate should be the most accurate since they have the best understanding of the story requirements.
