Effort applied to project work that is not readily divisible into discrete efforts for that work, but which is related in direct proportion to measurable discrete work efforts.

Work effort that is separate, distinct, and related to the completion of specific work breakdown structure components and deliverables, and that can be directly planned and measured bybthe activities supported. Support-type activity, which does not produce definitive end products. It is generally characterized by a uniform rate of work performance over a period of time determined byb the activities supported.
