Wideband Delphi Technique

A collaborative estimating approach where team members independently and anonymously provide effort and duration estimates for work items, the spread is reviewed, assumptions are discussed, and the group repeats the process in several rounds until the numbers converge and a shared estimate is reached.

Key Points

  • Anonymous individual estimates reduce anchoring and groupthink.
  • Multiple rounds with facilitated discussion to surface assumptions and risks.
  • Converges on a consensus estimate or a narrow range with documented rationale.
  • Useful when uncertainty is high and expert judgment must be synthesized.

Example

A Scrum team needs estimates for five new features. Each member submits anonymous effort and duration estimates in a shared tool. The facilitator displays the spread, and the team discusses why some estimates are higher (e.g., integration complexity, data migration). They run a second round, and the estimates move closer. After a third round, the team agrees on a final estimate and notes key assumptions about dependencies and risks.

PMP Example Question

Which estimating technique asks team members to submit anonymous estimates, reviews the dispersion, discusses assumptions, and repeats rounds until the group converges on a result?

  1. Planning Poker
  2. Wideband Delphi Technique
  3. Monte Carlo simulation
  4. Parametric estimating

Correct Answer: B — Wideband Delphi Technique

Explanation: Wideband Delphi uses anonymous estimates and iterative rounds with discussion to reach consensus, unlike simulation or formula-based methods.

AI for Project Managers — Build Plans Faster, Lead Better

Turn messy inputs into structured project plans in minutes. If you are a project manager tired of spending hours on documentation, this course shows you how to use AI to work faster while staying fully in control.

This is not a generic AI course. You will learn how to use AI as a practical co-pilot to build real project artifacts—charters, WBS, schedules, risk registers, and executive reports—using structured, reliable prompt frameworks.

You will also learn how to keep your project aligned across scope, schedule, cost, and risk, and how to interpret performance data like Earned Value Management to support better decisions and communication.

Everything is designed for immediate use. You get ready-to-use prompt templates and workflows you can apply right away in your projects. Watch the video to see how it works and start building your first AI-supported project plan.
