ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 — Question 54 of 80

Group decision-making techniques are team-based approaches used during activity duration estimation to improve accuracy and gain team commitment.

Key methods include:
- Brainstorming — open idea generation

- Delphi technique — anonymous expert rounds until consensus

- Nominal group technique — structured voting after individual idea generation

Why not others:
- (a) — describes reserve analysis (adding contingency buffers to the schedule)

- (c) — describes parametric estimating (using statistical models and historical data)

- (d) — describes analogous estimating / expert judgment (experts reference similar past projects)

Key rule: If you see brainstorming, Delphi, or nominal group technique — it's group decision-making.
