What is a Summary Activity?

In project management, a Summary Activity is like a giant umbrella that encompasses lesser tasks or activities. Assume you’re planning a party and have several duties to complete, such as purchasing decorations, obtaining food, and preparing the site. “Party Planning” would be the Summary Activity, which would comprise all of these smaller jobs below it. It’s a method of grouping and organizing comparable activities together, making it simpler to manage and comprehend the general flow of the project without becoming bogged down in the specifics of every small item. It’s like having a chapter title in a book that covers every area.
