Delphi method: Characters, History, Applications & Technology

The Delphi method, or Delphi technique (/ˈdɛlfaɪ/ DEL-fy; also known as Estimate–Talk–Estimate, or ETE), is a structured communication technique, or method, originally developed as a systematic, interactive forecasting method that relies on a panel of experts. Delphi has been widely used for business forecasting and has certain advantages over another…
