He quotes the PMBOK (Project Management Body Of Knowledge guide) definition of quality, which is: “the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfil requirements”, stating that this ...

Global communication management planning aims to ensure that communicators are comfortable with each other and in the long run communicate effectively. Some of the necessities for effective communication include listening genuinely and emphatically, having no misconceptions ...

There are very low chances for a flood of more magnitude than that of 1990 to occur. The probability of occurrence of the 1990 flood was 0.06. This indicates that probability of occurrence of the flood in the year was substantially low. 6/100 is a substantially low frequency. This means that, probability of occurrence of a greater flooding than this is insignificantly low because it is less than six percent, hence, it is negligible. A flood of a greater magnitude than that of 1990 is unexpected; this is an important point to consider in determining what prevention measures are worth implementing in the ...
