The activity list is a full list of all the activities in the project schedule. It breaks down each work package into activities which form the basis for estimating, scheduling, completing, and controlling the work. It includes an identifier and a description of the scope of work for each activity. It needs to contain enough detail for the project team to understand what needs to be done. stakeholdermap.com
The activity list is one of several ways of presenting the project schedule. In the PMBOK it is an output of defining activities. The creation of the activity list may be aided by standard activity lists and lists from previous projects. The list might be developed alongside the creation of the WBS and WBS dictionary or it might be an output of the WBS after it is developed.

Activities are different from milestones, because they have durations. In other words, the activity will take a certain amount of time and may have resources and costs associated with it. Milestones are zero duration markers usually denoting of the completion of an important stage or phase within the project.
