Turns options, criteria, and risks into a tangible result by defining the question and panel, querying in the first round, and deriving the outcome in the next round.
Core question: What range or which consensus emerges when experts give iterative, anonymous estimates on an uncertain future question?
Decision methodMethod form: Decision method. Describes how this method is used in practice.HighComplexity: high. Estimates preparation, facilitation effort, and method confidence needed.AsyncFormat: async. Shows whether the method works in a workshop, asynchronously, or both.

Decision MakingCategory: Decision Making. Describes the method's domain of use.
Moves options, criteria, and risks toward a concrete result through "clarify the estimate object and unit", "collect independent estimates", and "document another round and the outcome".
Core question: Which range and expected value describe the estimation object most honestly under explicit expert assumptions?

Decision MakingCategory: Decision Making. Describes the method's domain of use.
Moves options, criteria, and risks toward a concrete result through "clarify the estimate object", "determine the optimistic value", and "derive the range, expected value, and risks".
Core question: Which realistic range from optimistic to pessimistic describes the estimation object, and which risks drive the difference between the three values?

AgileCategory: Agile. Describes the method's domain of use.
Moves backlog, sprint work, and team flow toward a concrete result through "clarify the planning question", "slice work smaller", and "calibrate regularly with reality".
Core question: Which planning decision do we need to make, and which flow data or slicing rules answer it more cheaply than an estimation ritual?

DeliveryCategory: Delivery. Describes the method's domain of use.
Moves scope, sequence, and delivery flow toward a concrete result through "formulate the forecast question", "choose historical flow data", and "update the forecast regularly".
Core question: With what probability will the desired scope be finished by the target date (or how much scope can we complete by then), and which assumptions drive the distribution?
