Prepare a fifteen to twenty (15-20) slide digital presentation with the software of your choice (e.g., PowerPoint, Google slides, Prezi, etc.) in which you: 1. Explain quality and its importance to project success. 2. Explain quality management planning. 3. Contrast quality assurance and quality control. 4. Describe the different quality activities involved in this project and each of their outcomes. 5. Describe Pareto diagrams and their use in project management. 6. Present the data in the provided scenario using a Pareto diagram (Use the software of your choosing to prepare the diagram). 7. Use appropriate key points and / or graphics to professionally convey the information. 8. Include presenter notes to explain each slide. 9. Use at least two (2) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

- 5. VoIP Part 4 (Risk Register) Utilizing the Delphi technique, your team constructed the following risks register the VoIP project containing the risk, the likelihood of its occurrence on a scale of 1 (least likely) to 5 (most likely), and the potential negative impact on the project on the same scale. In addition, they recommended the appropriate response and identified its type for one of the risks identified. # Risk Likelihood (1-5) Impact (1-5) Response Type Response 1 Project Delayed due to lack of resources 3 5 2 Project runs out of funds before completion 1 5 3 Users reject new system 2 2 4 Defective Hardware 1

Decision tree will be utilized. Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you: 1. Explain risk management and its associated activities and defend the need for a risk management plan. 2. Describe the Delphi technique used to identify risks and infer on types of projects where this technique is most accurate. 3.

Complete the table with the risk response type (i.e., avoidance, acceptance, transference, and mitigation) and a description of the response. 5. Create a decision tree with the software of your choice to address risk number 6. Assume that when you check the schedule on day 60 of the project, it becomes evident that two (2) additional engineers are needed to ensure on-time completion of the project. The engineers cost $25,000 each and a fee of $120,000 is issued by the legacy provider. The
