In the Wideband Delphi method, a group of experts (typically developers) are asked to independently estimate the effort required to complete a set of tasks. The estimates are then collected and discussed as a group, and the experts are asked to revise their estimates based on the input of the other experts.

Non-functional requirements : The product or deliverable must meet all of the non-functional requirements such as performance, security, and usability. Technical requirements : The product or deliverable must meet all of the tec...
