Before starting sprint we gave estimations, while discuss with my team, my project manager also part of the meeting. After three weeks my project manager start give list of tasks like this is API and this is front end and also estimations based on our previous sprint plan.

We pissed off. After that we never include our manager in technical meeting.

FYI - If you're using Google sheets for ball park estimations never give permission to your project manager to edit sheet.

    Yep, been there.

    Me: this will take about 2 weeks to a month
    Pm: how can we make that less?
    Me: you can't
    Pm: you have 4 days.

    More than once, estimate high, because PMs will drive you down better than a bazaar carpet salesman.
