I once worked in an organization that only allowed engineers to make estimates once, at the beginning of typically 6 month projects. No elaborate research was allowed, all estimates were given off the cuff in a single 1 hour team planning session.
In the 6 years I was there they shipped around 40 different software products, without once shipping late or a buggy product, and won dozens of industry awards.
