The document discusses the Delphi technique, a human-based estimation method where multiple experts provide estimates. It has the following key steps: 1. Identify estimation experts, a coordinator, and author to work on the project. 2. The author presents the project details to the experts. 3. Experts make independent estimates for each task and the coordinator identifies tasks where the variance is unacceptable. 4. For tasks with unacceptable variance, experts discuss assumptions until consensus is reached and the process is repeated until all tasks have acceptable variance.
