Project Management - Activity versus Task?

Do you ever get confused by the terms 'activity' and 'task' when discussing project management? What is the difference? This is a great video for you, as Project Management Institute (PMI) does want Project Management Professionals (PMPs) aligning their language with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), so you want to get the terminology right!

Our mission at Effective Flow Connections is to provide outstanding consulting services through highly motivated and effective team members.

We put people first, ensuring your team is set up for success, so they can contribute to the organizational strategy and deliver on projects. Is your team aware of the organization’s strategic plan? Do they understand the “why”? Are their respective skill sets aligned with what is being asked of them? You can have the best strategy and plan on paper, but if you don’t have alignment within the organization and desire to support it, it will most likely fail every time.

Next, we deliver the highest quality technical solutions, allowing leaders to make the best business decisions and overcome challenges associated with the execution of projects. We will work with you to implement processes and tools to ensure you are successful with meeting project objectives on time and within budget. This includes supporting the change management side, as organizations change one-person at a time.
