Technique Overview
Delphi Forecasting Method Definition
The Delphi technique is a method for structuring a group communication process in the way that the process is effective in allowing a group of individuals to deal with a complex problem (Linstone and Turoff, 2002; Linstone and Turoff, 1975). This method is mostly used for problem solving, planning and decision-analysis (Rowe and Wright, 1999).
