An Activity is some action taken in the course of executing a Business Process, or Support Process, that in some way moves the process forward. The level of detail is sufficient only to the extent that it reveals architecturally significant details as defined in the Business Process or Support Process definition. A Activity should minimally represent a single unit of work, and only to the extent that it identifies existing technology or the potential use of technology.
