For example, for our DREAM Lab board, we set up the automation rule which tells Trello to archive the completed cards which are older than 45 days. It enables users to create additional buttons for cards and boards, set rules, or schedule commands to minimize the number of clicks and time spent on using Trello. But what surprised me in Trello is its workflow automation tool – Butler. In general, Trello is pretty similar to other project management tools out there, such as Asana. You can see who is assigned to do which tasks, you can see the progress of the whole team, you can see your role in the process more clearly. You, as a team member, can see the whole picture. Trello allows project managers to document the processes and at the same time creates more transparency within the team. It saves a lot of time and so useful if you have to multitask.įragment of the comments section from the DREAM Lab board

There is no need to scroll endless team chats or check the e-mails thread to find that small nuance. This means that team members can quickly find and refer to the specific information about a certain task. This section allows keeping all the questions and updates on progress between the team members inside each card. One of the things I find extremely useful in Trello is a comments section within each card. There is an option to add attachments to the cards – such as uploading the files from your computer or sharing the links to Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox. You can create lists and checklists, which is especially useful if you need to break down the task into several phases or steps. The card with a task can be assigned to multiple team members.īesides that, in each card, you can add detailed descriptions to give a context of what is the card about. The tasks can be moved between different lists. Sticky notes represent the different tasks that can be organized in different lists, for example, to-do lists, in progress, completed, etc. Trello is a digital board with sticky notes which gives a good snapshot of what is going on with the project. This tool is more relevant than ever because it is extremely helpful for the teams who work remotely. October started with discovering Trello – one of the most common tools for project management and collaboration.
