CBAP Exam - Question 161


What type of requirements elicitation technique is the Delphi Technique?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The Delphi Technique is a method used to gather information from a panel of experts through multiple rounds of questionnaires. The responses are aggregated and refined over subsequent rounds until a consensus is reached. This iterative process is characteristic of a survey-based approach, where individual opinions are gathered separately and then synthesized systematically. Therefore, the Delphi Technique is classified as a survey-based requirements elicitation technique.

BABOK V3 confirms that the Delphi Technique indeed involves gathering individual estimates from experts, sharing these estimates, and iterating until a consensus is reached. This aligns with the characteristics of a survey-based approach, where opinions or estimates are collected from multiple participants and aggregated to reach a collective decision or consensus. Therefore, the Delphi Technique is classified as a survey-based requirements elicitation technique.
