> There are a few different estimation techniques that are better than others but scrum actively avoids those techniques (probably for the best as they are expensive and don't show huge gains over other forms of estimation).

What methods would you suggest for software estimation then?

I wouldn’t do it. Prioritize your backlog, work on the most important things, reprioritize at your planning meetings.

Invest in going fast, reliability & figuring out priorities. There are lots of agile methodologies that abandoned the estimation step for the reasons I mention (fdd,rad,dsdm).
