WBS Summary is a feature in Oracle Primavera P6 that allows users to group related activities under a common Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). These grouped activities are then summarized as a single entity, making it easier to manage and analyze project data at a higher level.
The duration of WBS Summary activities is calculated based on the earliest start and latest end times of the activities within the associated WBS hierarchy. Unlike regular activities, WBS Summary activities do not require the definition of predecessors or successors. Instead, they inherit their start and end dates, duration, and other attributes from the activities they summarize.
All attributes of WBS Summary activities, such as progress percentage, start and end dates, and duration, are aligned with the specifications defined in the WBS. This ensures consistency and accuracy in project planning and tracking.
WBS Summary activities are particularly useful for representing management or control tasks that oversee a group of related activities. Examples include project reviews, quality control inspections, or project status reporting.
Overall, WBS Summary in P6 provides a structured way to organize and manage project activities, allowing project managers to efficiently track progress and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
