I agree with Belen, I think a resource event is more along the lines of an external event that affects a resource. Like if a team member has a family emergency or a piece of equipment breaks down unexpectedly.

You know, I'm starting to think that none of these options are quite right. Maybe a resource event is something more like an external event that impacts the availability or assignment of a resource. Just a thought.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I was thinking it might be option D, an event scheduled by a project manager. That would make sense as a resource event, since the project manager is the one who's responsible for scheduling and managing resources.

I'm leaning towards option C. A block of time that a resource spends on a task seems like the most straightforward definition of a resource event. After all, that's what we're really interested in when managing projects, right?

I think it's option B. A non-scheduled activity that impacts capacity sounds like it could be a resource event, like a team member having to attend a last-minute meeting or an unexpected equipment failure.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure about the definition of a resource event. Is it something to do with the time a resource spends on a task, or is it a non-scheduled activity that impacts capacity?
