Making a summary task in Microsoft Project is easy, it’s how you group subtasks under a single “parent” task. Here’s the clean, step-by-step way: 

‍

1. From the 'Task' tab go to the 'Gantt Chart' view.
2. Enter the tasks that should be grouped.
3. Select the tasks you want under the summary.
4. Click the 'Indent Task' button from the 'Task' ribbon.
5. Enter a unique or descriptive name for your new summary task.
6. The top task becomes the summary task, and the indented ones are subtasks.
