Communications of thhttps://hdl.handle.net/10657/6245In this paper, we discuss the nature and use of the Delphi methodology in information systems research. More specifically, we explore how and why it may be used. We discuss criteria for evaluating Delphi research and define characteristics useful for categorizing the studies. We review Delphi application use in IS research over the last 23 years, summarize lessons learned from prior studies, offer suggestions for improvement, and present guidelines for employing this distinctly useful qualitative method in future information systems research studies.en-USDelphi MethodExpertsPanelAnonymityQualitativeIterationFeedbackBiasArticle
