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

Create a decision tree with the software of your choice to address risk number 6.

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%.
Explain the methodology utilized to create a decision tree and recommend the appropriate action to take based on your decision tree from criterion 5.
