Define Activities

Determining and recording the distinct tasks that must be carried out to create the project deliverables.

Key Points

  • Translates WBS work packages into detailed, actionable activities.
  • Occurs in the Planning Process Group within Project Schedule Management.
  • Primary outputs: activity list, activity attributes, and milestone list.
  • Common techniques: decomposition, rolling wave planning, and expert judgment.

Example

A project team delivering a new reporting dashboard takes the WBS work package "Build Data Extracts" and breaks it into activities: define extract fields, develop SQL queries, configure ETL jobs, create error handling, and unit test each extract.

PMP Example Question

After finalizing the WBS, the project manager needs a detailed list of tasks to estimate durations and assign resources. Which process should they perform next?

  1. Sequence Activities
  2. Develop Schedule
  3. Define Activities
  4. Create WBS

Correct Answer: C — defining and documenting the specific tasks required

Explanation: Define Activities breaks down WBS work packages into discrete activities, which are then sequenced, estimated, and scheduled.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Eight teaching sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.
