As a program manager, project management office, or similar, is it actually necessary to ask how long a project will take?
If you have historical data on all past projects, and you determine what kind of project you're looking at, could you not forecast expected duration with expected range of variation without any additional estimation required?
Love this idea. I've blogged on the same idea on the very same day, but not as clearly as you: http://johannesbrodwall.com/2012/03/19/what-is-a-commitment-anyway/
