How would you explain the definiton of High-level around Project Management? So Far I am understanding it is something that is complete whether if it is design requirements, planning, RAM, descriptions or others, but does not have a lot of details. Am I Correct? PMP Junior Student here. Thank you.

High-level would usually imply:
- less effort & elapsed time spent
- less fidelity/accuracy
- less likelihood of a commitment being made

A Rough Order of Magnitude estimate would usually be considered a high-level estimate. The top level of a WBS or user story map would normally be high-level.

High-level project management means your focus is on the whole picture rather than the details. Therefore, a high-level focus makes sure to understand how the different project management pieces go together, rather understanding each piece.
Thank you very much, it is exactly the simple and precise explanation I was looking for!

Take a look to Barry Bohem work, mainly the paper where he explains Cone of Uncertainty.
