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.

Intuitive & effective tool to stay on track with all your projects

Have used Trello for years in different jobs as well as for personal projects. It's a lovely tool and it really helps me stay focused and get things done.

Pros

I love how intuitive it is and how well it integrates with all the other tools we are using.

Cons

Having to add images as attachments before being able to add them in a comment seems a bit repetitive. But it's a small thing, all in all it's a great product.

Trello is great! There are some slight annoyances, but being able to in depth track everything is great!

Cons

The switching between boards can me a little bit annoying.

Good for simple work flows

In my experience, Trello is a quick and simple way to manage tasks and projects for a remote team. I've used it mostly for managing content creation and approval as well as small SEO tasks and found it effective.

Pros

I do appreciate Trello's simplicity: it's easy to onboard new users and teach them the basics so you can hit the ground running. I've found it most helpful for managing the content creation and approval process.

Cons

The customer service is slow—at one stage we waited a week for a ticket to be addressed and the response wasn't helpful.

Best Project Management Software!

It's honestly hard to think of cons; I am extremely satisfied with this software. However, one issue I’ve encountered is the inability to post images solely in the comments—any image posted also gets added to the attachments. For my needs, I want images in comments to remain separate from those in attachments to avoid confusion and disorganization. If users had the option to keep images exclusive to the comment section, this software would be truly perfect.

Pros

If you're not using Trello for task management, you should be. It's the best software out there for this purpose, incredibly easy to learn and master—I got the hang of it in just 5-15 minutes. Trello's ability to create unlimited lists to customize our workplace pipeline is invaluable. I can update my boss on task progress with a couple of clicks, and she instantly gets notified and provides feedback. I constantly use labels and checklists to track smaller details, ensuring we both fully understand the current status of tasks. My co-workers also use it, making it easy to check project statuses without having to ask them directly. This software has truly transformed the way I work, and I can't imagine going back to a time before Trello.

Cons

It's honestly hard to think of cons, I am just extremely satisfied with this software. Although one I can think of is the inability to post images in just the comments, if you post an image, it will be added to the attachments as well. For my use case, I want images in the comments and images I add to the attachments to be separate as it can get a bit unorganized and confusing. If they let users have the option to keep an image exclusive to the comment section then the software would be truly perfect.

I would give it ten stars if I could!

I love using Trello to organise ideas, and this is so easy to do. You can have a different board for each project or topic, then different lists within a board, then different cards within a list. You can colour-code the cards, and have either a title on them, then open them to add/view content, or you can create "smart cards" by adding a link, which will then show a preview of that link's target. You can add checklists to cards, and you can use a calendar system to schedule tasks or events. Honestly? It's the best free tool I've come across for organisation. I would give it ten stars if I could.

Pros

Such a generous amount you can do with it on the free plan. I love the whole experience - the boards, the cards, how easy it is to move things around, plus the calendar function takes it to a whole new level. No matter what you need to organise, Trello is your new secret weapon!

Cons

Honestly? Can't think of anything I don't like about it. I've been using it for years and it's just fantastic.

Trello is far and away the most intuitive, user-friendly interface out of all these for me, and the free plan is more than generous.
