Activity Attributes

A set of descriptive details captured for every scheduled activity in the activity list. These details may include items like activity identifiers or codes; predecessors and successors; the type of dependency between activities; any leads or lags; resource needs; target or imposed dates; constraints; and key assumptions.

Key Points

  • They are metadata about an activity that help define, organize, and control the schedule.
  • Typical items include activity codes, predecessors, successors, relationship types, leads/lags, resource requirements, imposed dates, constraints, and assumptions.
  • They support sequencing, estimating durations and costs, resource planning, and schedule analysis (e.g., critical path and network logic).
  • Attributes can be refined over time as more information becomes available, enabling better filtering, grouping, and reporting.

Example

For activity A-104 “Install Server OS”: activity code A-104; predecessor A-103 “Rack Servers” with a finish-to-start relationship and a 2‑day lag; successor A-105 “Configure Network”; resources: 1 systems engineer and 1 technician; imposed date: start no earlier than May 10; constraint: hardware must pass burn-in; assumption: network VLANs will be available by May 9.
