About Activities

Also known as tasks, events, or work packages, activities are the lowest level manageable work elements in a project or WBS. Activities typically have expected durations, costs, and resource or role requirements. Milestone activities, however, have no duration, cost, or assignments. The only exception is that Milestone activities can have a primary resource, representing the person responsible for marking the milestone complete in P6 Team Member. Collectively, all activities form the foundation of the entire project, driving resource assignments, relationships, constraints, expenses, and durations. Activities are sometimes further divided into any number of discrete steps.
