Table 2: List of Milestones
Following is the list of the limitations those cannot be extended or altered at any cost and all the project constraints should be delivered considering these limitations:

It is a crucial factor for the successful deployment of the event program as it is very important to regularly monitor, audit and make changes during the development of the project in manner to get better output of the organized event (Small et al. 2017). Following is the list of the sectors those need special considerations while auditing the risks during an event:
Venue evaluation: Venue should be well evaluated even if it has been used earlier or being used for the first time considering the arrangements and the strength of the audience coming at that venue. There should be proper entrance and exit system including the parking place for the transport arriving at the venue (Buede and Miller 2016). The venue should be well connected to the main route in manner to allowing the audience to reach the destination without any chaos. There should be separate spaces for the sectors needed for the execution of the event such as storeroom for food and beverages, first aid, extra resources, and many more.
Observing the behaviours of similar event: Past experiences are always helpful for the consideration of the events those could possibly occur during the execution of the event. It is also helpful in predicting the behaviour of the participants, that how they interact with such events. This will be helpful in delivering a high quality project through ensuring that the predictions might occur and mitigation procedures are ready to be executed.
Reviewing Policies, event management systems, and procedures: these are another effect measure for evaluating the growth of the project and allowing the managers to effectively deploy the project. It should be made sure that the every activity is going as per the planning and finally the project could be delivered as expected (Morris 2013).
Interviewing the event Personnel: every individual standing for the volunteer should be interviewed before assigning roles and responsibilities in manner to make sure that they have proper idea about the event. This will make sure that chosen candidate are capable of handling the work load and pressure involved in this event.
Following are some of the techniques that could be helpful in ensuring that the evaluation has been accomplished in an effective and efficient manner and the project will be ultimately delivered in better and precise manner:
Risk severity matrix as presented in the above report: Risk prioritization in manner to eliminate the risks causing highest effect to the project should be executed primarily and less emphasis could be given on the risks causing less effect on the project (Plante et al. 2017).
Preparing checklist of all the activities involved in the risk management strategies and execute every object for the mitigation of the risks those have capability to eliminate every possible risks from the event.
Contingency Plan can be another helpful measure as a second solution for the raising problem and ensuring that enough backup is available for the damages caused by the certain risks (Pinkerton, Pickett and Motahari 2017).
Conclusion
Based on the above report t can be concluded that the mentioned activities can be helpful in accomplishing the objectives and goals of the project if monitored and executed under proper guidance with leadership skills. It is important to follow the presented schedule and budget strictly in manner to make the event successful and collect necessary output from the project. This report presents all the aspects related to the successful organising the event within the college campus.
