You must have the potential to disapprove of any unforeseen schedule or budget. But if you accept any one of them or both by your will it is your responsibility to adjust your plans according to the changes.

Solution of The Problem:

Keep following up with your clients and other key stakeholders and organize notes of each activity of an event so that no information remains unaddressed. It is better to use a formal tracking process and keep all stakeholders in the loop so that they can access each information regarding the event.

5.   No Backup Plan for Bad Weather:

The intensity and frequency of extreme weather have increased so much. So, it is important to consider the changes in the weather while arranging an event.
