For projects that use rolling wave planning or agile techniques, the list will be updated periodically as the project progresses. The activity list includes an activity identifier and a scope of work description for each activity in sufficient detail to ensure that project team members understand what work is required to be completed.
Define Activities is the process of identifying and documenting the specific actions to be performed to produce the project deliverables. The key benefit of this process is that it decomposes work packages into schedule activities that provide a basis for estimating, scheduling, executing, monitoring, and controlling the project work. This process is performed throughout the project. The organizational process assets that can influence the Define Activities process include:
- Lessons learned repository containing historical information regarding activity lists used by previous similar projects,
- Standardized processes,
- Templates that contain a standard activity list or a portion of the list from a previous project, and
- Existing formal and informal activity planning-related policies, procedures, and guidelines, such as the scheduling methodology, that are considered in developing the activity definitions.
