Charlie,
Since you seem to be having some difficulty with the word, the link will take you to some definitions of dismount. Im sure youll be able to figure out which one James means.

LOL - Charleston you have restored my faith in this forum... It can be entertaining after all !
James,
What is this verb "DISMOUNT" used in planning????
What is the noun???
Please give an example.
I only dismount after F????ng my G???F????F and both of us say AHHH!!!!, that was nice.
Please claify my innocent mind.
Here something different
procure, cabling, issue, marking, shaping, grassing, regrow
This are verbs that i encounter in being involve Golf
Courses.
Rgards
yes, but on the other hand you can say: machine; wires; pipes; panelboards etc.
Arf, some nice suggestions there. Joking aside, Id add;
clean, connect, disconnect, dismount, inspect, Install, modify, overhaul, re-install, Remove, Repair
Can you tell I schedule maintenance works? :P
I believe this is where "Steps" will come in. For me, Task or Activity should be quantifiable physically and in terms of costs.
Andrew,
You are spot on! You can also add mislead, misconceive, misunderstand, misdirect, waffle, pontificate and avoid to the list.

Darren,
Your idea is correct.
But somehow other project team members dont appreciate it because it connotes actions on their part.
Tack description should be as what you learned. verb noun.
Very simple and easy to understand.
fabricate forms instead of fabrication of forms
install rebars instead of installation of rebars
pour concrete instead of pouring concrete
paint wall
place masonry blocks instead of painting wall
excavate dirt/soil instead of site excavation
install ceramic tile instead of installation of ceramic tiles
This is also the way I prefer to describe task but as I travelled a lot and involved with different project different nationality, i did encountered IDIOTS that convuluted the whole planning process.
This IDIOTS are people in power or influence that wield to much power and ignoramus in there actions to the point of dictatorial management. They just say Im the boss and follow what I want, How I understand planning.
At least here in PP we have peers that understand our language.
Cheers
What about when the PM doesn’t like the answers the schedule is giving, based on the current status, and he/she has to provide a report to executive management, and the planner is invariably asked to create That Report.
Could we not start the report creation activity with the following?
lie, fib, perjure, feign, misrepresent, fake, pretend, forge, pretend, conjure, counterfeit, fabricate, simulate
Nicely done sir... I’ll get straight onto creating another category!!
Ill also add ignore...
Going by some of the Planners out there...
General Planning
Blunder, Flounder, Guess, Speculate, Invent, Fabricate, Contrive
