Define Activities
CHRONOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS of what needs to be delivered?
Time Management
Process of identifying and documenting relationships among the project activities
Sequence Activities
Process of estimating the number of work periods needed to complete individual activities with the estimated resources
Estimated Activity Durations
Commonly measured in days, but for a short project it could be expressed in hours, or for a long project perhaps weeks may be more appropriate
Estimated Activity Durations
Used to mark key deliverables or project stages and are given a zero duration
Milestone Activities
