(2) Creating summary tasks. The WBS separates tasks according to the project management process groups of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing. These tasks will be the level 2 items in the WBS for this project (The whole project is considered level 1).
The summary tasks in this assignment are Task 1, 5, 9, 14, and 17. To create the summary tasks you need to select task 2 through 4 then click the indent task button on the ribbon under the schedule group of the task tab. After the subtasks (task 2-4) are indented, notice that Task 1 automatically becomes boldface, which indicates that it is a summary task.
A collapse symbol appears to the left of the new summary task name. Click it and see the results. Repeat the same steps to indent tasks 6-8, tasks 10-13, tasks 15-16, and tasks 18-20.
(3) Numbering tasks using the standard tabular numbering system for WBS:
Click the Format tab, and then click the outline number checkbox under the show/hide group.
Project 2019 adds the appropriate WBS numbering to the task name.
Click the Project Summary checkbox just below the outline number checkbox. Notice that a new task has been added under row 0. It shows the project summary task (the project's name) as level 1
