What are subtasks?

Subtasks are the ones that support the main tasks. They allow you to separate complex deliveries into smaller and manageable parts, ensuring that every detail is considered without losing the overall goal.

Benefits of Subtasks:

  • Clear Responsibility: Assign specific responsibilities for more efficient collaboration.
  • Precise Monitoring: Follow the progress of the main deliveries based on the status of the subtasks.
