Explanation: In a work breakdown structure, the smaller activities that need to be completed to achieve each milestone are often referred to as “Tasks and sub-tasks.” A task is a representation of the key actions that need to be done, and a sub-task is a breakdown of that work into smaller, more manageable components. To provide a comprehensive analysis of the project’s scope and to make project management and planning more manageable, the work breakdown structure hierarchically integrates these tasks and subtasks.
