Break complex tasks into subtasks

Add subtasks to any task to break work into actionable steps, track progress with the X/Y counter, and keep each subtask independent with its own status and priority.

Who it’s for

Project managers and teams working on multi-step complex tasks who lose sight of real progress.

The problem

A vague task like “Create the campaign visuals” can hide 6 sub-steps. Without breakdown, nobody knows where things stand — and the card stays stuck at “In progress” for days.

What you gain

  • Granularity without complexity

    Each subtask is independent of the parent task for status and priority.

  • Visible progress

    The X/Y counter shows directly on the board card — no need to open the task.

  • Fast generation

    Nudgy breaks down a complex task into actionable subtasks in one request.

1

Open a task

Board, list, or Cmd+K → task detail.

2

Add subtasks

Subtasks → title → Add — or ask Nudgy to generate them.

3

Assign status and priority

Each subtask: custom status + low/normal/high priority.

4

Track progress

X/Y done counter → visible on the board card in real time.

5

Manage the list

Done / To do in one click → +N more for long lists.
