Wideband Delphi Method for Effective Group Decision-Making
Wideband Delphi is a consensus-based estimation method that is used to estimate the effort required to complete a software development project. It is based on the Delphi method, which is a process used to gather opinions or predictions from a group of experts. 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. This process is repeated several times until the group reaches a consensus on the estimates. Wideband Delphi is often used in Agile development because it allows teams to quickly and accurately estimate the effort required for a project without relying on a single person's opinion. It also allows teams to identify and address any discrepancies in understanding or knowledge about the project, which can help improve overall ...
