Activity Theory

Activity Theory

In this case, we will talk a little more about the resources that we will use to manage a project that we want to use, be it a product that we want to sell or a change proposal. Activity theory is a tool that helps us collect information at home aspect of our project, it is more a meta-theory than a predictive theory. This considers the entire work / activity system (including teams, organizations, etc.), in other words it does not focus only on the person, but also on your own team and the environment that is managed. I like to think of this tool as something more realistic for our project since I feel that it is more complete because it takes ourselves into account. The activity theory is represented by a triangle which contains the following:

This triangle can be managed on 3 levels:

• Activity towards a goal (goal) carried out by a community. A result of a reason (need) that may not be aware of the social and personal meaning of the activity (Answer the question Why?)

• Action towards a specific (conscious) goal, carried out by an individual or a group possible goals and sub-goals, critical goals (Answers to the question What?)

• The operational structure of the activity is usually a concrete, automated and unconscious way of executing an action according to the specific conditions surrounding the objective (answer the question How?)
