AACEI

Activity duration is:[2] Length of time from start to finish of an activity, estimated or actual, in working or calendar time units. Best estimate of continuous time (hours, days, weeks, and months) needed to complete the work involved in an activity. This takes into consideration the nature of the work, and the resources needed to complete the task. Baseline activity duration development can become very complex when productivity impacts and nonstandard production rates must be utilized to meet the constraints of the project.
