Trello

A closer look at Trello

Trello is a team work-organizing tool: sign up, create a board, and capture, organize and tackle to-dos from anywhere, for any project, workflow or type of team.

Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.

When to choose Trello

• Users who need the job Trello describes on its official page: Trello is a team work-organizing tool: sign up, create a board, and capture, organize and tackle to-dos from anywhere, for any project, workflow or type of team.
• Users who prefer following Trello's guided workflow over doing the same work fully by hand

When to choose something else

• Teams that need work organized without boards, since Trello organizes to-dos on boards
• Teams that need to organize work without signing up and creating a board first

A practical starting workflow

1. Sign up for Trello.
2. Create a board for the project or workflow.
3. Capture and organize to-dos on the board.
4. Tackle the to-dos with the team from anywhere.
