subtasks
Divided work pieces
Subtasks are smaller components of a larger task, broken down to make work more manageable.
Project management often involves dividing complex goals into subtasks that can be assigned, tracked, and completed individually: I've broken the report into subtasks so we can divide the work.
The term appears frequently in software and productivity contexts.
