How would you define an appropriate task?

The goal of a project can be achieved by completing an individual task within a project plan. Tasks are specific units of work that must be completed to reach the goal. Whenever possible, tasks can be broken down into smaller steps, but they should always be manageable and achievable within the project's timeline. Planning, researching, executing, and monitoring/evaluation are some of the most appropriate tasks for various types of projects.

What is a summary task?

You can use summary tasks to group related tasks together, as well as containers for tasks with subtasks in your project plan. Summary tasks can be dependent on other summary tasks, and they can be assigned start and end dates. You can also add text to summarize the contents of a summary task.
