Artifact: Event Diagram
Description
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.
