Explanation

The Delphi technique allows the project risk manager to gather opinions from all stakeholders anonymously. This method would enable stakeholders to express their concerns without feeling uncomfortable in front of the influential stakeholder. The Delphi technique is a tool used to make quick decisions with consensus. This technique consists of sending several sets of anonymous questions to each expert. This is followed by a group discussion after every round. The Delphi technique can help the project risk manager to identify risks by soliciting the opinions of all stakeholders without revealing their identities. This way, the stakeholders can express their views freely and honestly, without being influenced or intimidated by the influential stakeholder. The Delphi technique can also reduce personal bias, ego, or emotional conflict among the participants. The project risk manager can use the results of the Delphi technique to create a list of potential risks and their causes, effects, and probabilities.
