Tasks in MeisterTask can contain checklists. Checklists are perfect for any task which requires multiple to-do's or action items: simply mark off completed actions to keep track of your team's progress. You can also create predefined checklist templates which can be reused for many different tasks.

Need to create larger, more complex to-dos within a task? Create a subtask instead.
