Event-driven scheduling
Whenever this material addresses scheduling, it refers to the integrated master plan 
and schedule (IMP/IMS). The IMP is an event-driven schedule that identifies the 
accomplishments that must be achieved and the criteria that must be satisfied for 
work to be considered complete. The IMS is a date-driven schedule that aligns 
organizational and technical plans with the project milestones. This is addressed in 
Chapter 4 and is further discussed throughout the remainder of this book as needed.
