What should a project manager resume summary include?

Include your industry, the types and sizes of projects you manage, your methods (Agile, waterfall or hybrid) and one delivery result such as on-time completion or cost savings. Two or three sentences are enough.

Example (fictional): "Project manager with eight years delivering IT and digital transformation projects for banks and insurers, managing budgets in the millions and teams of up to 25. Delivered a core system migration on schedule with no unplanned downtime. PMP certified, comfortable with both Agile and waterfall delivery."

Another example (fictional), for construction: "Construction project manager with ten years delivering mid-rise residential and commercial buildings, coordinating consultants and subcontractors from design through handover."

Name the industry clearly, because project management skills transfer but hiring managers look for experience in their sector first. Avoid vague openers such as "dynamic leader with a passion for delivery".
