Answer 1

The tasks performed on entities such as assembly, document approval or customer checkout. An activity is defined in terms of the activity time as well as any resource requirements.

Answer 2

a single task, which is performed within a process. It is used when the work in the process is not analyzed in detail within the flow.

Answer 3

A name process, function, or task that occurs over time and has recognizable results. Activities combine to form business processes / A process, function or task that occurs over time and has recognizable results. Activities combine to form business processes

Answer 4

A description of a piece of work that forms one logical step within a process. It is the basic unit of work within a process. Presumably, work could be subdivided into units smaller than a given activity, but it is not meaningful for the organization to track the work to that level of detail. Synonyms include node, step, and task.

Answer 5

Activities are the lowest-level process steps in modeling software where actual work is performed. Activities cannot be broken down into further steps. A series of activities may comprise a subprocess, several of which may constitute a process.

Answer 6

A discrete unit of work that consumes organizational resources.

Answer 7

A description of a piece of work that forms one logical step within a process. An activity may be a manual activity, which does not support computer automation, or a workflow (automated) activity. A workflow activity requires human and/or machine resources(s) to support process execution; where human resource is required an
activity is allocated to a workflow participant.

Answer 8

Work that a company or organization performs using business processes. An activity
can be atomic or non-atomic (compound). The types of activities that are a part of a
Process Model are: Process, Sub-Process, and Task.

Answer 9

A generic term for work that a company or organization performs via business processes. A description of a piece of work that forms one logical step within a process. An activity may be a manual activity, which does not support computer automation, or a workflow (automated) activity. An activity can be atomic or non-atomic (compound). The types of activities that are a part of a Process Model are: Process, Sub-Process, and Task

Answer 10

Element of work that is required by the project, uses resources, and takes time to complete. Activities have expected durations, costs, and resources requirements and may be subdivided into tasks. See also task definition.

Answer 11

Processes can be sub-divided into smaller and smaller units or sub-processes. We define activity as the smallest sub-process that a given business process team decides to illustrate on their process diagrams. (We could reverse that and say that a process is made up of one or more activities.) Activities can consist of a single step, like approving a purchase request or placing a cap on a bottle passing on a production line. Other activities involve multiple steps, like filling out a form, or assembling a chair. There is no consistency about how the various methodologies use terms like task and step, but, increasingly, the term activity is reserved for the smallest unit of analysis. A given activity could be performed by one or more employees, by a software system, or by some combination. In the UML notation, both processes and activities are represented by rectangles with rounded corners. (See Business Process Hierarchy.) We sometimes indicate if activities are manual (normal line around rectangle), systems (bold line around rectangle) or mixed activities that involve both manual activities an systems (dashed line around activity rectangle).
