Tasks with sub tasks or just tasks?

Spyros Iordanopoulos

For an existing project, what is more efficient: 

Create tasks with sub-trasks or just tasks?

Jack Brickey

to some degree this is subjective IMO and speaking of my opinion here is more...

I use a combination of Tasks w/ Sub-tasks, Tasks only and Tasks w/ checklists.

1. Tasks only - used when they are self-contained work items that do not rely on other activities to be considered complete.
2. Task and sub-tasks - when the things that need to get done are not clear or would benefit from breaking down into smaller bits. Also, if the task will involved more than a single person sub-tasks work.
3. Tasks w/ checklist - when I don't want/need the overhead of sub-tasks but want to be able to check off all the things I need to get done to consider the task complete.

To me #3 is 'most efficient' in most cases but it does require an addon.
