Active Listening Paying careful attention to what is being said, then rephrasing that information and feeding it back to the originator to ensure that what you think you heard is what they meant.

Standard techniques of active listening are to pay close attention to what is said, to ask the other party to spell out carefully and clearly what they mean, and to request that ideas be repeated if there is any ambiguity or uncertainty
Activity

A task or set of tasks that are carried out in order to create a deliverable Editor's Note: It should be noted that the term 'activity' is used as a collection of tasks, synonymous with task or as a subset of a task. It is recommended that a 'task' should be thought of as a subset of 'activity'

A single task within a project.

A specific project task that requires resources and time to complete

An element of work performed during the course of a project. An activity normally has an expected duration, an expected cost, and expected resource requirements. Activities are often subdivided into tasks.

Motion toward a clearly targeted result, something one does as distinct from something one gets done (result).

Subtask within a project.

The smallest self-contained unit of work used to define the logic of a project. In general, activities share the following characteristics: a definite duration, logic relationships to other activities in a project, use resources such as people, materials or facilities, and have an associated cost

(And Activities) A series of tasks performed over a period of time

A task or series of tasks (activities) that is (are) performed over a period of time.

An activity is an individual task needed for the completion of a project. It is the smallest discrete block of time and resources typically handled by PM software. It is a single task which needs to be done in a project. Multiple activities are related to each other by identifying their immediate predecessors. Solitary activities, which have no predecessors or successors, are allowed. Most PM software packages are precedence-based systems which analyze schedules based on the activity relationships that are specified. Activities can also be called work packages, tasks, or deliverables. Editor's Note: An Activity represents work being done whereas a Product is the result of work done

An item of work in support of the work scope. An Activity consumes time.

An effort that occurs over a time period and generally consumes resources, sometimes also called a "task."
