    This paper reports on an application of the Delphi method to regional industrial land-use forecasting. It should be emphasized from the outset that the work documented should be considered no more than an “abbreviated” Delphi approach, for the study was continued through only two rounds and there was no effort to arrive at a stabilized consensus of opinion. Both the methodological and substantive findings of the research are thought to be important and, therefore, both are discussed in the Results section of the paper. Also, because methodology is a major concern of the paper, the way in which the Delphi approach was applied is described fully.

    The widespread use of the Delphi technique of decision making has led to many variations in format implementation by practioners and researchers. The classic Delphi typically includes four rounds of questionnaires and feedback. This study attempted to establish empirically the point of stability in a six-round Delphi. The results indicated that Delphi groups reached stability in their decision making after the fourth iteration, thereby providing empirical support for the length of the classic Delphi.

    Achieving consensus on twenty‐two issues within three months via the three round normative delphi technique is described. Advantages of delphi and suggestions for those initiating delphi studies are included. The success of this technique is evidenced by its wide adoption by administrative and academic departments following this case study.

    This article shows a case study research that is performed to compare effectiveness of the Planning Poker and Wideband Delphi in two case studies. Although, Wide Band Delphi has been proposed many years ago and has enough supports in both industry and academic area but, Planning Poker is somewhat new. The study showed that applying these techniques in two companies which were using expert’s view for software cost estimation, increased the accuracy of cost estimation. Also, the results showed that Planning Poker led to better accuracy comparing to Wideband Delphi. However, this accuracy is not too much than Wideband Delphi, it was important that Planning Poker led to reducing financial risks of the projects comparing to Wideband Delphi. The study also showed that both Wideband Delphi and Planning Poker reduced the underestimates significantly.
