Project Activities

Definition

A project activity is a piece of work that the team works on together. Who does the activity, and who is involved in the activity, is decided by the team through a RACI chart each time they plan work. Activities help produce project deliverables and help complete milestones.

How it Relates to Other Components

A project team as a whole performs many different activities in order to produce deliverables in each project milestone. Each activity traditionally has specific team duties that people will be responsible for, accountable for, or consulted in. Who does which activity is flexible: it's dynamically decided by all teammates when they plan work. It changes every week, or every iteration, depending on the Agile Method you have chosen for your team (see about methods here).
