The Delphi Method plays an important role in the duties and responsibilities of a Project Manager in helping take informed decisions. Originally developed as a method of forecasting, it involves the sending out of several rounds of questionnaires, and the aggregation of their anonymous responses.
Since many rounds of questions are asked and the panel is informed of the group’s overall thoughts, the Delphi method aims to reach the right answer through consensus.
