Topic #: 4
TeamClothing sells clothes through its shops based around the country If a customer in a shop cannot find the item they wish to buy. a sales assistant can order it for them online and when it arrives, the customer can then collect the item from the shop
Customers may also order directly from TeamClothing's website Orders from the website are usually delivered to the customer's home address Online customers also automatically receive a monthly catalogue from the firm, which lists current offers
Three events are of particular interest:
Shop sales assistants ordering items for a customer online Customers ordering through the website Sending a monthly catalogue to website customers
How would these events be classified'?
An event is something that happens or occurs within or outside an organisation or project that triggers or affects an activity or process. Events can be classified into three types: external, internal and time-based. Therefore, option B is the correct answer, as it correctly classifies the events of interest in this scenario according to their types. External events are events that originate from outside the organisation or project and are beyond its control or influence. An example of an external event in this scenario is customers ordering through the website, as it originates from outside TeamClothing and is beyond its control or influence. There are two external events in this scenario. Internal events are events that originate from within the organisation or project and are under its control or influence. An example of an internal event in this scenario is shop sales assistants ordering items for a customer online, as it originates from within TeamClothing and is under its control or influence. There are no internal events in this scenario. Time-based events are events that occur at regular intervals or on specific dates or times. An example of a time-based event in this scenario is sending a monthly catalogue to website customers, as it occurs at regular intervals (every month). There is one time-based event in this scenario.
