Activity List

A recorded inventory of all scheduled activities that includes each activity’s description, a unique identifier, and enough detail about the work so the team clearly understands what needs to be done.

Key Points

  • Lists every scheduled activity with a unique ID and clear description.
  • Includes sufficient scope detail so team members know the exact work required.
  • Serves as a basis for sequencing, estimating durations and costs, and building the schedule.
  • Is maintained and updated as scope and planning information evolve.

Example

In a website redesign project, the Activity List might include: A101 — Gather requirements (interview stakeholders, collect current analytics); A120 — Create wireframes (home, product, checkout pages); A140 — Develop front-end (HTML/CSS/JS for approved designs). Each item has an ID, description, and details so the assigned team knows exactly what to deliver.

PMP Example Question

Which project document specifically contains the activity description, activity identifier, and detailed work information needed so team members know what to perform?

  1. Activity List
  2. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
  3. Project Network Diagram
  4. Milestone List

Correct Answer: A — Activity List

Explanation: The Activity List records each scheduled activity with its unique ID and detailed description, ensuring clarity of the work to be performed; the WBS decomposes scope, the network diagram shows sequencing, and the milestone list tracks significant points without detailed work descriptions.
