Subtasks What is a subtask?
A parent task can be split up into a number of tasks which can be assigned and tracked separately in a project. Splitting complex tasks into smaller tasks i,e work breakdown structure often provides a better picture of the overall task progress, and allows each project member involved to better understand what part of the module they are responsible for.
Key Benefits of Subtasks
- Helps you organize, and structure your tasks.
- Allows you to set project goals, keep track of deliverables and manage deadlines.
- Continuous uninterrupted workflow with no delays and on-time project completion.
- Break down (WBS) complex projects into many, dependent tasks and manage work effectively.
