Short answer: a circle represents a "chance node," meaning a chance to which an Expected Monetary Value (EMV) may be assigned to calculate the most likely pay-off.

Explanation: according to the PMBOK Guide, 4th Ed. (pgs. 298-299), the inputs to this node are scenario probability and the EMV (expected monetary value) assigned to that chance node, from the decision node (denoted as a square on a decision tree). A chance node leads to a "net path value," otherwise known as a computed value or solution set (represented by a triangle on a decision tree).

A decision tree of this type is one of the tools used to determine quantitative risk analysis used to reach a computed optimal solution using probability distributions as a basis.

What is the name of a company's internal IT department?

In most cases the collective name for an IT 'group' within a company is, or could be, called "IT Services" or "Information Services", and both references could be appended with 'Department' if desired. Nowadays, the word 'Services' is typically thrown into the mix somewhere as most IT Services 'teams' now, or do their utmost to implement and follow an IT Service Management (ITSM) best practices (notice the word 'Service'); with [hopefully] most ITSM being drawn up with strong references and methodologies taken from the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). ITIL is, as the name puts it, a 'library' for which the underlining governance and guidance that can be [is] used for the 'in-house' ITSM tuning and tweaking to suit the needs of a company's (or customer's) IT service requirements.

What is a radiu s of a circle?

If you draw a line from the center of a circle to the edge of a circle, you have drawn the radius of the circle. If you draw a line from the edge of a circle through the center of the circle and on to the edge on the opposite side, you have drawn the diameter of a circle. The radius of a circle is one half the diameter of a circle.
