Activity diagram

Activity diagrams are like a flow chart that show how a task is performed. They show the different steps that need to be taken in order to complete a task. Activity diagrams use boxes and arrows to show the different steps and what needs to be done in each step. An activity diagram can show where the task starts and ends, and the different steps in between. Activity diagrams are useful for understanding what tasks need to be done in order to complete a process.
