There are two types of activity that can be created. The first one groups together stakeholders with whom your organization must communicate on a regular basis, using the same strategy, and within the same time frame. These activities may span one or multiple periods and tasks are automatically generated for them based on the number of stakeholders and periods specified.
The second group lets you create activities to cover internal actions. These can include internal meetings, research, or any activity not directly tied to external stakeholders. This can help you and your team carry out internal processes that support your engagement plans. These activities also have tasks automatically generated for them based on the periods specified.
You can use both activities with external stakeholders and activities to cover internal actions within the same engagement plan, allowing you to integrate all relevant tasks into the same engagement plan and providing you and your team with a complete view of the actions to carry out.
