Understanding Events in Project Management

An event is an important milestone in a project that marks either the start or completion of one or more activities. Events typically represent the beginning or end of a phase of work, such as the completion of excavation allowing piping layout to start or the start of plastering. Events are characterized by either the completion of all preceding activities or the start of any single follow-up activity.

Event

Event is the important point (mile stone) during execution of particular work or task. Many a time we only are
concerned about commencement or completion of the task. Event is defined as start or end of an activity or activities.
Thus, event is followed by more than one activity. In this case event is marked by completion of all activities or start of
any one of the activity.

Example: -

1. Start of plastering is an event.

2. Completion of excavation for piping layout is an event.

3. Start of floor tiles is an event.

4. Giving power supply to fan and light. 

Event is characterized by completion and start of an activity. We can defined 

a)       An event is said to occur if all the activity leading to it has been completed.

b)       An event is said to occur if any of the activity has started.
