Activity Name Changes

What it is:
Changing the name of an activity after the baseline or during later updates.

Why it’s a Problem:
Even small name changes can cause big confusion. People may lose track of what was completed, reporting becomes inconsistent, and audits become harder. Over time, this erodes trust in the schedule.

Best Practice:
Define naming conventions early and stick to them. If a name must change, document the reason and the timing so there's a clear record. Consistency allows everyone, from the field to leadership, to follow along without second-guessing.
