VoIP Part 3 (Quality) Suppose the VoIP project sponsor wants you to present the project to the board of directors. Particularly, the sponsor would like you to discuss the quality of the project. It is worth noting that during the deployment of the VoIP system the quality control team tracked forty (40) of the deployments. The following problems were documented:
· Five (5) of the deployments experienced delays due to the unique configuration of the office space which required modification to install the proper wiring.
· Twelve (12) of the users called the help desk to get additional training on the new system.
· Two (2) of the new devices were defective.
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:
· Include the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date in the presentation.
· Include the references used in the assignment in the presentation.

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.

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. Examine the four (4) types of risk response (i.e., avoidance, acceptance, transference, and mitigation) and determine the appropriate situation where each should be used.
4. 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 probability of completing the project on time is as follows: With the current personnel – 60%; With one (1) engineer – 80%; With both engineers – 98%.
6. Explain the methodology utilized to create a decision tree and recommend the appropriate action to take based on your decision tree from criterion 5.
7. 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:
· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
