tasks
Items needing completion
Tasks are pieces of work that need to be done, usually discrete assignments with defined goals or deadlines.
The word implies something that has been assigned or accepted as a responsibility: I have several tasks to complete before the meeting.
To task someone is to assign them work or burden them with responsibility.
If you take someone to task, you criticize or reprimand them for a failing.
