In general, tasks are used to plan the steps within a project and subtasks are used to break down these steps into smaller tasks and involve other people in the work. However, it's important to understand some of the limitations of using subtasks: 1) Subtsks do NOT show up on the timeline. 2) And subtasks do NOT contribute towards an assignee's workload. Tasks - Good to show a body of work that has a date range. e.g. Prepare a report. Tasks help to keep the main project more minimal and less cluttered. Subtasks - What are the smaller steps that need to happen to complete the main task? e.g. Draft report, get report approved. Subtasks are great for going into detail. These can also be assigned and dated. Request a quote!
