Trello is a simple, minimalist project management tool built around Kanban boards. You can set up personal and team boards for any number of use cases, with collaborative project management being the most common. The versatility Trello's free version offers, along with its wide adoption, makes it a go-to for many individuals and teams.
Like most kanban boards, every Trello board starts out with a few columns to organize tasks in lists. Add columns for each stage of your workflow to take tasks through each column to completion, or for each section of your project to organize tasks into unique lists. Then, add tasks, include details in the descriptions, and invite colleagues to work together. Trello's core kanban cards are fairly basic, but you can enable additional features with power-ups, or automate tasks from your cards with Butler automations.
Trello started out as a new project management tool from Fog Creek Software in 2011, with the core kanban features that are included in today's free plan. Today, Trello's part of the Atlassian family of software, along with Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket, with additional paid Power-up features and Butler automations.
People love Trello for its simple tools to organize projects and create kanban workflows. Teams with more advanced project management needs may want a tool with more features, though, such as Jira, or a fully customized workflow in a tool like Airtable.
Task Management and Project Tracking With simple kanban view you and your team can easily manage multiple tasks and projects and move cards (tasks) from one stage to another and having full visibility and progress of the project.
Butler Automation Butler is a powerful tool that brings automation and insights to your Trello boards. Create buttons, rules, and even scheduled commands to perform different actions on your boards.
Easy Organization With Labeling, Tags, and and custom fields.
Attachments Easily attach documents to your cards directly from your computer or cloud storage like Google drive, dropbox, Box, Ondrive.
Power-Ups Think of power ups as add-ons or small inbuilt apps in trello to give you more control and feature for efficient task management, for eg you can have a calendar view power up, custom fields and integration with apps like figma etc.
