Correct answer & explanation
✓
Delphi technique
The Delphi technique uses anonymous rounds of questionnaires with a facilitator to achieve consensus among experts. It avoids group bias.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Assumptions analysis
Why it's wrong here
Assumptions analysis evaluates the validity of project assumptions, not expert consensus.
- ✗
SWOT analysis
Why it's wrong here
SWOT analysis examines internal strengths and weaknesses alongside external opportunities and threats, but it does not involve iterative anonymous collection of expert responses through a facilitator. The scenario describes the Delphi technique, which relies on repeated anonymous rounds to build consensus. SWOT is tempting because it is a common strategic risk identification tool, and it would be correct when the team needs to categorise risks by internal versus external origin rather than achieving anonymous expert convergence.
- ✗
Brainstorming
Why it's wrong here
Brainstorming is an open group session, not anonymous iterative rounds.
- ✓
Delphi technique
Why this is correct
The Delphi technique is characterized by anonymous, iterative rounds of questionnaires.
