A task list is a set of individual tasks that need to be completed to finalize a phase or step of a construction project. Task lists are often created at the start of the project, assigned to team members, and added to a project schedule. A project could have a single task list of all tasks, or many lists broken down into phases, stakeholders, or other variables specific to a project.

Task lists can be created and maintained in many ways, including on a notepad, spreadsheet, or with construction task management software.
