Duplicate Activity Names

What it is:
Two or more activities share the same name, regardless of whether the work is related.

Why it’s a Problem:
Duplicate names make it hard to track work, reference activities in meetings, or interpret reports. It’s easy to update the wrong task or miscommunicate progress.

Best Practice:
Give each activity a unique, descriptive name. If activities are similar, add context like location, phase, or work area. Clarity will save hours in updates and reviews.
