Whenever I need to provide an estimate, I ask everyone on the team for their gut feeling, take the second-largest estimate and multiply by 1.5. Seems to work pretty well. (if you can't tell I don't know what I'm doing with management)

I find the most relevant aspect of an estimate is how familiar the person making the estimate with the problem. People who have the best understanding will inevitably give the best estimates.
