Leanbase's task hierarchy uses a nested structure: Modules contain Tasks, which hold Subtasks. Users can create custom task types for tailored workflows.
Module
In Leanbase, a module represents a high-level project or goal, serving as a container for related tasks and subtasks. It helps organize and track progress across broader initiatives.
Tasks
In Leanbase, a task is a single unit of work that includes details like assignees, due dates, and status. It helps teams organize, track progress, and collaborate efficiently.
Subtasks
In Leanbase, subtasks are smaller, actionable steps within a task that help break down complex work into manageable pieces. They ensure clarity and progress toward completing the main task.
