What is a Project Summary?
A project summary is a project management tool that summarizes a project’s status at a moment in time. They’re concise, comprehensive and provide an overview of all the key details of your project.
How to Create a Project Summary?
- Use a Creately project summary template to identify the multiple aspects that affect your project.
- List down the basic information of a project- this includes details like project name, project phase, planned project launch date and current date.
- Connect with key stakeholders and develop a deep understanding of the project at hand. This can be done through a brainstorming session that identifies and lists out all the details that go into your summary.
- Be sure to determine the key audience that will be reading your project summary and make sure it’s geared towards them. A project summary could be used for internal stakeholders as an executive summary for project managers, team members, contractors, and other service providers. It could also be used by external stakeholders as a project proposal and help their readers get a quick impression of a project’s nature, status and overall context.
- List down the key milestones of the project and clearly indicate what the team must orient themselves towards.
