About Trello

Trello is a visual collaboration tool for planning tasks and projects. While commonly used by agile software development teams, the solution is also used in other departments such as marketing, sales, support and HR. The web-based solution provides tools to define projects, their requirements and the workflow to ensure projects are completed in a planned sequential manner. Trello offers a digital board to create, organize and prioritize actions. Administrators or managers can even define workflows, assign tasks to individuals or teams, set deadlines and monitor progress. Trello cards allow users to collaborate with each other. Users can add comments, add members, and attach documents to the tasks assigned to them. Trello offers a professional package that includes the privacy and administrative settings required by large enterprises. Trello integrates with a number of online applications including JIRA Cloud, Bitbucket Cloud, Google Drive, GitHub and Slack.

Visual Workflow Integration with Trello

Trello is a very intuitive and flexible way to manage the design tasks and also the design team's work in general; its visual approach to project management helps clarity and team alignment, so it’s a very cool way to organize design flows, work on the team, and keep on time for the project.

Pros

Trello stands out with something like custom Kanban boards that make visual task management a reality; Power-Ups so you can keep customizing and integrating additional functionality; and a variety of third party tools. By visual dashboards, Trello allows management of design tasks and timelines effectively; it allows the remaining of lines of communication and monitoring of team progress.

Cons

Complex project tracking still has limited reporting and analytics capability, as well as the absence of embedded time tracking for accurate project estimation.

Trello as a second-brain platform

I have used Trello at many workplaces and environments and it has been found to help me be more effective at tracking my personal to-do lists as well as project-based tasks in addition to wider-ranging initiatives.
Overall, it helps serve as a second brain in many ways.

Pros

Trello is a web-based project/task-management system enabling collaboration amongst teams. It can also be used individually to track both workflows as well as individual items within projects. This serves both vertical and horizontal project management perspectives. It is very easy to use and helps one track many projects across many workstreams.

Cons

There is little to dislike about Trello. The tool is effective at helping one maximize their throughput.

Alternatives Considered

Jira

Reasons for Switching to Trello

Trello was used for one set of initiatives while Jira was used for a completely different set of workstreams. One tool works better for one set of needs while the other serves a different set of needs.

Pros

Trello's got a visual interface, which is ace for visualizing my sales pipeline and keeping track of leads.

Cons

It's missing some of the grunt I need to automate tasks, like sending follow-up emails or getting detailed reports. And the contact management could be a bit more robust, too.

It's my Trello, and I need it now!

I used it for 3 months every day. It's a great tool for task management, and the price for full access is comparable to its competitors like Todoist or Microsoft Planner.

Pros

The navigation through the software, the compartmentalization of the how the tasks are set up. I also liked the accessibility settings. I was able to change the theme and background and really make it my own.

Cons

I had to pay for full access. Most task management tools are similar in that aspect. I felt with Trello, there was less offered on the front end, and more offered on the back end for full access, compared to its competitors.

Feasible and Proactive Project Management at Finger Tips

Overall, a great Project management tool to manage projects efficiently for Individual Contributors as well as Team Collaborations. Best thing, it provides the visibility and authoritative freedom to work on projects and move them to in-progress or completion status in real time providing super quick and efficient timeline to other parties involved.

Pros

This software is a great project management tool to manage multiple projects or a parent project with sub-projects/tasks within the main domain being managed at once that too with great eased and visibility power.

Cons

The customization is too limited and gets confusing for simple things. There needs to be too many human touches to create a simple workflow.

For a free tool, what's not to like? 10/10 from me!

Easy to use, simple design interface, fun to use and better than similar apps, e.g. Teams, Slack and others. For a free tool, what's not to like? 10/10 from me.

Pros

I have been using Trello for.about 5 years I love it I use it for managing ny freelance tasks and for my own personal and goal related task management. I love that it's simple to use and has loads of templates for keeping project organised.

Cons

Without upgrading, the max size of the attachments is 10 MB but I can use google drive links to biggers doc so this hasn't been so much of an issue.

Great simple task management software

Overall our experience has been positive, only teams with complex tasks can demand more from their task management sofware, but simple tasks can benefit from this tool.

Pros

It as easy to use and intuitive tool. Using different boards and sharing them with the needed team members so everybody is up to date.
App design is preety straightforward. Great tool for remote working.

Cons

There is no great room for automation or task programation. Personalization is limited, so in some scenarios maybe you can need another tool as an add-on

Trello is the epitome of a user-friendly tool for managing your projects.

Overally, I highly regard Trello for its intuitive interface, flexible functionality and robust collaboration features. More, so its ease of use, accessibility and effectiveness in enhancing productivity and teamwork makes it a product I would readily recommend to anyone who needs to get started

Pros

Promotes teamwork through its collaboration tools and it is mostly free. Additionally, its Kanban boards can be employed as a receptacle for many people's responsibilities, allowing you to view every action they complete on just one board.

Cons

The free version is somewhat limited however it can be upgraded. Also even the upgraded version has some limitations in dealing with advanced automated tasks that I handle

Trello is an adaptable and simple-to-use project management application.

It guarantees that my colleagues are always up to date on the most recent developments.
By facilitating direct communication using task cards, it eliminates the need for additional communication tools.

Pros

New team members need little training to utilize it and understand it easily.
Organization and task management are made easier by its Drag-and-Drop functionality.

Cons

Gantt charts, sophisticated reporting, and resource management are examples of sophisticated project management features that are absent from it.

A Card Above The Rest

Makes managing multiple projects with moving parts and more than one team member involved easy to manage. It's also free, which is great for any startup trying to get organized with a small or large remote or office team.

Pros

I enjoy the card based system Trello makes use of. The WYSWYG design function is beneficial to even novice users - you can move things how you see fit without major processes involved. I also enjoy the customizability. You can use Trello anyway you want. If you have a chaotic but effective process, you can make it your own. If you're extremely organized - it's perfect for that, too.

Cons

Slight learning curve because it's so open. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty useful. Also, their sale to Atlassian kind of mucked things up. I didn't like Jira when originally searching for an Asana replacement. The sale also messed up customer support for a bit.

Alternatives Considered

Jira, Airtable, monday.com and Podio

Reasons for Choosing Trello

Asana was nice from an individual summary standpoint, but became a bit convoluted when you needed to see things from a macro level. I found it very effective if I was a cog in the wheel, but if I was managing the wheel, I felt a little lost.

Trello is a Lifesaver!

In HR, our processes are extensive. With multiple people touching the same onboarding, termination, promotion, driver qualification, FMLA case, workers' compensation case, etc., Trello has become a critical part of our daily lives as it allows us to stay organized and see, in real time, who completed which tasks, and when. We essentially use our Trello checklists like "cheat sheets" for many of our processes.

Pros

The cards, templates, and checklists are definitely my favorite features in Trello. Our team can stay organized and see, in real-time, which tasks are outstanding and which user they are assigned to. We can also organize different card types into categories. Our dashboard shows us, at a glance, what projects we're working on. For example, if we have a new hire, they will have their own Trello checklist with a set of steps that apply to all new hires. If a step doesn't apply to them, we can delete it without affecting the main template card, which includes all possible steps for a new hire.

Cons

There are only two things I can think of that would make Trello even better. (1) The ability to add line breaks to steps would make them easier to read. (2) The ability to make mass edits to multiple cards at once (i.e., verbiage updates for a step) would save me a lot of time.

Good basic tool for tracking projects and tracks.

Overall, Trello is a good option for keeping track of projects, tasks, and resources. The free version is a little less powerful than other similar software but it's still a good tool.

Cons

I don't like that there's not an easy task to do list based on deadlines, at least not in the free version.

Huge Trello Fan

I set up Trello boards for my clients so that I can submit my work on one board, they can review my work on the next board and then move it to approved. It helps me streamline and keep track of all of my work for my marketing clients.

Pros

I love the Kanban style of Trello. I've used the platform for years because I enjoy that method of organization.

Cons

The only con of Trello is the pricing. I was using it for my large team but then they changed the pricing and they were going to charge me per member so I cancelled it for my organization and just kept it for personal use.

Cons

As a user, I face challenges while exporting files from Trello. It becomes more challenging while exporting files in a structured format. It is so annoying as it takes quiet an effort and kills valuable time. They should take a look at it.

Cons

Impediments of Trello incorporate its restricted task perspectives and restricted detailing instruments
