Your posts about the non-value of estimates are great. Poking around the web it seems like a lot of people feel estimates are less than valuable. I also find a lot of information about how to do agile estimates during release and iteration planning (like Mike Cohn's book). But I have yet to see anyone describe a good process for coming up with an "estimate" which can be given to upper management during initial budget planning exercises, or really any time before the development gets underway. BTW: the links to your slides seem to be broken. My organization is currently looking into software estimation (after an audit said we didn’t have an effective process in place).
