Understanding Subprojects in Project Management

A subproject is a smaller project that is part of a larger project. It is a self-contained piece of work that has its own objectives, scope, and timeline, but is also part of the larger project's overall goals and deliverables. Subprojects are often used to break down a large project into smaller, more manageable pieces, and can be managed independently of the main project.

For example, if a company is launching a new product line, the project might include several subprojects such as:

* Developing the product design
* Creating marketing materials
* Setting up manufacturing processes
* Hiring and training sales staff

Each of these subprojects has its own specific objectives, timelines, and deliverables, but they are all part of the larger project of launching the new product line.
