| Artifact: Event Diagram |
 |
|
|
| Main Description | The purpose of the Event diagram is to depict the relationship between events and process. Certain events - such as arrival of certain information (e.g., customer submits sales order) or a certain point in time (e.g., end of fiscal quarter) - cause work and certain actions need to be undertaken within the business. These are often referred to as "business events" or simply "events" and are considered as triggers for a process. It is important to note that the event has to trigger a process and generate a business response or result. |
