What is a 'hammock' in the context of project management?

  1. A project task that requires physical labor

  2. A relaxation period built into the schedule

  3. Summary activities used in a high-level project network diagram

  4. A high risk project activity

The correct answer is: Summary activities used in a high-level project network diagram

A hammock in the context of project management is a summary activity used in a high-level project network diagram. This activity combines two or more detailed tasks and allows for more efficient planning and tracking of the project. Option A is incorrect because a hammock is not necessarily a task that requires physical labor, while option B is incorrect because a hammock actually involves work and is not simply a relaxation period. Option D is incorrect because a hammock does not necessarily have to be a high-risk activity.
