Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Delphi technique is a structured communication technique or method, originally developed as a systematic, interactive forecasting method which relies on a panel of experts. The experts answer questionnaires in two or more rounds. After each round, a facilitator provides an anonymous summary of the experts' forecasts from the previous round as well as the reasons they provided for their judgments. Thus, experts are encouraged to revise their earlier answers in light of the replies of other members of their panel. It is designed to prevent the bandwagon effect and halo effect, allowing experts to express their opinions freely without being influenced by the majority or by charismatic individuals.
