Key takeaways

  • Tasks as Project Backbone: Tasks represent the work items required to complete a project and are crucial for effective project planning and management. ​
  • Parent-Child Task Structure: Parent tasks group the project into phases, stages, or milestones, while child tasks (subtasks) represent actionable work assigned to team members. ​
  • Automatic Completion of Parent Tasks: Parent tasks are automatically marked complete once all associated child tasks are finished. ​
  • Task Organization Tools: Tasks can be organized using the indent and outdent buttons to create hierarchical structures, with up to seven levels of parent-child relationships supported.
  • Flexible Task Structuring: Projects can use a parent-child structure or keep all tasks at the same level, depending on the specific needs of the project. ​
