## Project Overviews

A project overview summarizes information about the entire project and its major phases. For example, a project overview might include the total cost of the project but not the costs of individual tasks. Print a project overview for people who require summary information and don’t have the time or need to read through the details. Your manager, for instance, may want only project overviews.
