Organizing an event is considered Project Management. It has a beginning and an end, and It could range from a personal, business, fund-raising, to organizational events with lots of objectives to achieve. All events should follow the basic Project Management Principles & Knowledge Areas to ensure a great success. However, the distribution of hours between the knowledge areas of events Management differ from other organizational projects. For one, event projects may require more initiation and planning hours than execution. Does that mean that one is more important than the other? What do think? Saving Changes...
Hello Maysa,
I think the Nature of the event is a major key to your question!
Event could be a workshop, a seminar, a championship, ..., or whatever is local and short in time!
As sport event organiser for years, my experiences are telling you that planning phases are just critical!
Perhaps more than execution because if you have planned correctly, you've created YOUR Team of people that you trust and know that they will support any of your decisions.
People - and skills - composing your team are essential to your success, reasons why I will ever insist on make sure that planning phase is properly made. Execution is a consequence! Saving Changes...
As already said by many comments, both are equal. You do planning continously thoughout the project. The Plan ist nothing, planning is everthing (Prussian General Moltke) Saving Changes...
