Nominal Group Technique

For Risk Identification, several techniques were used with assistance from the stakeholders.

Nominal Group technique is an information-gathering technique similar to the Delphi technique that can be used during the Risk Identification process.

This technique requires the participants to be together in the same room. Each participant has paper (post stick notes!) and pencil in front of them, and they are asked to write down what risks they think the project faces. Each piece of paper should contain only one risk. The papers are given to the facilitator, who sticks them up to the wall or a white board. The panel is then asked to review all the risks posted on the board; rank them and prioritise them, in writing; and submit the ranking to the facilitator. Now, a complete list of prioritised risks is ready.
