17
Q

Activity Early Finish Date / Early Finish Date

A

The earliest possible point in time when the uncompleted portion of the schedule activity can be completed given the assigned resources.

18
Q

Activity Early Start Date / Early Start Date

A

The earliest possible point in time when the schedule activity can begin based on critical path method (CPM) forward pass of schedule model logic.

19
Q

Activity Effort

A

The number of units required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component.

20
Q

Activity Identifier

A

An alphanumeric value assigned to an activity and used to differentiate that activity from other activities. See also activity code and activity label.

21
Q

Activity Label

A

A phrase that names and describes an activity. See also activity code and activity identifier.

22
Q

Activity Late Finish Date / Late Finish Date

A

The latest possible point in time when the schedule activity can be completed without violating a schedule constraint of delaying the project end date.

23
Q

Activity Late Start Date / Late Start Date

A

The latest possible point in time when the schedule activity can begin without violating a schedule constraint or delaying the project end date.

24
Q

Activity List

A

A documented tabulation of schedule activities that shows the activity description, activity identifier, and a sufficiently detailed activity scope definition for the work so project team members understand what work is to be performed. The list may have additional activity attributes.

25
Q

Activity Most Likely Duration

A

The total number of work periods in calendar units assigned to perform the schedule activity, considering all of the variables that could affect performance; it is determined to be the most probably activity duration.

26
Q

Activity Note

A

Documentation of additional supporting information for an activity.

27
Q

Activity Optimistic Duration

A

The total number of work periods in calendar units assigned to perform the schedule activity, considering all of the variables that could affect performance; it is determined to be the shortest possible activity duration.

28
Q

Activity Original Duration / Planned Duration

A

The duration originally assigned to a schedule activity; this duration is typically not updated as progress is reported on the activity. Used for comparison with activity actual duration and activity remaining duration when reporting schedule progress. The activity original duration is normally developed by reliance on historical data, specialists, resource availability, financial considerations, and volume of work to be performed.

29
Q

Activity Pessimistic Duration

A

The total number of work periods in calendar units assigned to perform the schedule activity, considering all of the variables that could affect performance, it is determined to be the longest possible activity duration.

30
Q

Activity Physical Percent Complete

A

An estimate, expressed as a percent, of the amount of work that has been completed on a schedule activity, measured in terms of either physical work progress or by means of the earning rules of earned value management.

31
Q

Activity Scheduled Finish Date / Activity Planned Finish Date / Schedule Finish Date

A

The point in time when work was scheduled to complete on a schedule activity. The activity scheduled finish date is normally within the range of dates delimited by the activity early finish date and the activity late finish date. It may reflect resource leveling of scarce resources.

32
Q

Activity Scheduled Start Date / Activity Planned Start Date / Schedule Start Date

A

The point in time when work was scheduled to begin on a schedule activity. The activity scheduled start date is normally within the range of dates delimited by the activity early start date and the activity late start date. It may reflect resource leveling of scarce resources.

33
Q

Activity Remaining Duration / Remaining Duration

A

The total number of work periods, in calendar units, (a) equal to the original duration for an activity that has not started or (b) between the data date of the project schedule and the critical path method (CPM) early finish date of a schedule activity that has an activity actual start date. This represents the time needed to complete a schedule activity where the work is in progress.

34
Q

Activity Resource-Leveled Finish Date

A

The point in time associated with the activity scheduled finish date of a resource-limited schedule activity in a resource-limited schedule.

35
Q

Activity Resource Leveled Start Date

A

The point in time associated with the activity scheduled start date of a resource-limited schedule activity in a resource-limited schedule.

36
Q

Activity Risk Criticality Index

A

The probability that the schedule activity will be on a critical path.

37
Q

Activity Scope Definition

A

Documented narrative describing the work represented by the activity.

38
Q

Activity Start Date / Start Date

A

A point in time associated with the beginning of the schedule activity in a project. Usually qualified by one of the following: actual, baseline, current, early, late, scheduled, or target.

39
Q

Activity Total Duration

A

The total number of work periods, in calendar units, to complete a schedule activity. For schedule activities in progress, it includes the activity actual duration plus the activity remaining duration.

40
Q

Activity Type

A

A categorization designation that differentiates the discrete schedule activities that have different functions within the schedule model, such as milestone, task, summary, level of effort, and dummy.

41
Q

Actual Cost (AC) / Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP)

A

The realized cost incurred for the work performed on an activity during a specific time period.
