AB  - Purpose–The paper aims to review all the techniques for developing scenarios that have appeared in the literature, along with comments on their utility, strengths and weaknesses.Design/methodology/approach–The study was carried out through an electronic search using internet search engines and online databases and indexes.Findings–The paper finds eight categories of techniques that include a total of 23 variations used to develop scenarios. There are descriptions and evaluations for each.Practical implications–Futurists can use this list to broaden their repertoire of scenario techniques.Originality/value–Scenario development is the stock‐in‐trade of futures studies, but no catalog of the techniques used has yet been published. This list is the start at developing a consensus list of techniques that can be refined as the field matures.
