An Activity represents a step in a process. The majority of your Process Map will be made up of Activity Elements. A simple best practice for Activities is to name it with a verb+noun phrase. Instead of giving the Activity a title like “Open the mail with the letter opener,” use “Open Mail” instead. You would use the Element Property Editor and the Activity’s comment field to document how the letter is to be opened. Also try to avoid using descriptive metrics or requirements in the Activity title. Instead of naming an activity “Deliver Pizza within 30 Minutes,” you should name it “Deliver Pizza.” In this example, “within 30 Minutes” is a very important detail and should be captured in the Activity’s comments field or, even better, documented as a Requirement Element that gets attached to the Activity.
