Project Activities

This is really just a cursory look at what needs to be done on the project. You will plan what needs to be done in much more detail later, when you develop the Project Schedule.

In planning for the project, it is useful to have a broad understanding of what will be done, and to continue to build on this understanding as your plans progress. If you start this now, when you come to write the Project Schedule, you will already have a lot of the content of the schedule. For now your list of activities may be quite basic, or extremely thorough. Either way, keep in mind, these are the activities we expect to accomplish. They are not necessarily all of the ones we will accomplish.

Depending on the size of your project, you may want to identify all of the activities now, or you might want to note the really important activities the project will involve. At the very least this is a good time to write down what you need to do to get the project started, and what you will need to do to get it finished, other details in between can be filled in later.
