Trello

What differentiates Trello from other similar products?

Trello was the first widely popular using the Kanban model to organize tasks and projects with this philosophy. So it seems to keep a competitive advantage over the many similar alternatives now on the market. Being the number one in the field, it is easier to collaborate, as most people already know this tool. It is easy to find tutorials, and it really gets the work done.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It helps to organize work. Both for solo projects, as for collaborative projects. It is not hard to implement, and it is flexible enough to allow each one to work on its own rhythm at the time that tracks and secures that work gets done. So it is based on blocks, where it is possible to write a description of what needs to be done and the steps, and enclose documents and collaborate with comments on this block or task. Then it is possible to move it through the different stages on completion or review until aproval.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I use other alternative products such as Ora.pm or Meistertaks. Even when the alternatives do not have a so good mobile app, I like that the pricing has everything included without need of add ons, plus the design of the alternatives can be even nicer than Trello.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It has a nice free version to start with. And there are very good tutorials on the internet that show how to use it. Concretely, I like the youtube tutorial by Shane Melaugh about how they have used it to growth his business. The Kanban model I find it to be very good. At the same time, it is also good to look at the alternatives before deciding.

What differentiates Trello from other similar products?

Trello makes creating an issue tracking system simple. The platform is web-based, extremely user-friendly, and the basic edition is completely free. Working with a group of individuals and keeping track of project tasks is a breeze. The hurdles to using the service and inviting new members are minimal. That you can keep track of open tasks at all times and from anywhere, and that you may save them in a very organized manner without losing sight of them. Trello is ideal for sprints in teamwork since it eliminates the need to prepare PowerPoints for each stand-up meeting. can be utilized not just in the workplace, but also in personal projects

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Trello is how I keep track of my team's work and individual projects. You can simply construct Kanban boards and get started.Trello's ease of use is particularly appealing to me: even if you've never used a tool like this before (or a Kanban board in general), it's simple to get your bearings. The first Trelloboard only takes a few minutes to set up, and the operation is fairly easy (at least for me). It's useful for a variety of tasks: I use it for self-organization and prioritization as well as digital project cooperation with others.Trello is simple to grasp and apply in a productive manner. When used creatively, it is incredibly versatile

What do you dislike most about this product?

Because of the numerous features included in the free edition, the trees are occasionally unable to see the forest. There are multiple board overviews, for example, and it's not always clear how different functions move or change the picture. The free version's customization options are also severely limited. I must admit that I find it difficult to name the downsides. Depending on the intended use, one downside might be that Trello is not integrated into Office365 like MS Project. However, I don't mind it. It allows collaborative task processing, from student group work to internationally distributed product teams.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With Trello I can work both synchronously and asynchronously with my project team and always have a transparent view of the status and who is the contact person for which topic. For my own organization, I have my own board with a backlog and prioritization, because my disdainful to-do list has driven me crazy at some point. Due to the many parallel to-dos and new priorities, it became too confusing to organize myself efficiently. Completed cards can be packed in the archive, but it would be better if you had this archive also visible on the board. Switching between boards is always associated with many clicks.
