tervtevékenység

Tervtevékenység (Hungarian for “planned activity”) refers to a set of activities that are planned in advance and organized as part of a program, project, or schedule. The term emphasizes forward planning and coordination and is commonly used in contexts where tasks, timelines, and resources must be arranged ahead of time. It can describe both recurring activities and one-off tasks that are defined in a plan.

Etymology and usage: The word is formed from terv (plan) and tevékenység (activity). The compound is used to distinguish planned actions from ad hoc work and to signal that particular actions have defined objectives, timeframes, and responsible persons.

Contexts: In business and project management, a list of tervtevékenységek may be included in annual or quarterly plans, detailing tasks such as product development milestones, marketing campaigns, or training sessions. In education, it can refer to the scheduled curriculum activities for a term. In public administration and nonprofit work, it may denote a program schedule of workshops, community outreach, or construction activities.

Relation to planning and evaluation: Tervtevékenység is typically accompanied by allocations of resources, deadlines, and performance indicators. It is contrasted with actual activities (valós tevékenység) that occur during implementation and may be revised if circumstances change. The concept supports transparency by documenting intended actions and expected outcomes.
