A cohesive, individual unit of work that is a subdivision of an activity and part of the total work needed to accomplish a project. Also sometimes called an activity. Tasks take place over a period of time and generally consumes resources. The term usually used to refer to a piece of work contained within an activity within a work package. While it is an identifiable piece of work, its extent is less than that which qualifies it as a work package.
