task list

Organized activity queue

A task list is a collection of items to be completed, typically organized by priority or deadline.

Unlike a simple to-do list, task lists often appear in project management contexts with assigned owners, due dates, and status tracking: Add it to the task list and we'll get to it next sprint.

The term applies equally to handwritten notes and digital tools.
