Teams
Teams are groups in an Organization that likely correspond to general functions at your company, like marketing or sales. In terms of physical space, a team is like a filing cabinet.
Projects
Projects are stored in Teams and track all the actionable steps, information, and communications towards achieving a goal, initiative, or objective. it can also be an ongoing project like IT and HR. They also hold Sub-Projects (Parent Tasks with Sub-Tasks). Projects are like folders in your filing cabinet.
Tasks, Sub-Projects, and Sub-Tasks
Tasks _are stored in projects and make it clear who’s responsible for what by when. Tasks store all the files, conversations, and instructions related to them, so information stays in the right place (and one place). Task are like pieces of paper filed in your folder.
Sub-Projects_ are actually regular (Asana) Task’s, and are used if “The desired result requires more than 2 action steps to complete”, the way we use them via Marking the (parent) Task as Milestone, and each of the next actions are created as “Sub-Tasks”.
Sub-Tasks_Use subtasks to break up the work of a Sub-Project into smaller parts or to help divide up the work among multiple people. Subtasks function like independent tasks with all the same fields as a parent task but are embedded within a parent task. When a subtask is created, it does not inherit its parent task’s assignee, due date.
