Day 4

Activity codes
Activity codes are used to categorize project activities and to produce reports and graphics based
on activity codes. Use activity Codes Dictionary to define Codes that uniquely identify each
activity in a project & Group activities in similar Categories.

Classify activities into Specific Groups such as Responsibility, Phase, System orLocation.
Creating activity codes
Assigning activity codes
Modifying activity codes and values

Problem no 4:
Define activity codes for the following project and organize according to activity codes
