Trello is one of the most popular project management tools that help individuals and teams to keep track of their projects and tasks. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at how Trello works and how you can use it to manage your projects efficiently.
First of all, Trello boards are made up of lists that represent a workflow. Each list has cards on it, and the card represents a task. You can create a new task by adding a card, and you can add a title to it. You can also add more information to the card by clicking on it to open up the card back.
One of the best things about Trello is that all aspects of the card can be edited on the card back. You can change the title, add a description, and even create a checklist to create sub-tasks or steps. You can also add members of your team to the card to assign them the task. When board members are added to a card, they will receive a notification both within Trello and by email.
To keep track of your tasks and projects, you can add due dates to your cards. You can also add labels to your cards to add visual information for quick reference. Plus, you can filter your board by labels to focus on specific tasks.
Commenting on cards is another convenient way to keep the conversation about a task centrally located. You can mention a board member in a comment, and they will receive a notification. Also, subscribing to a card means you will receive notifications for any actions that occur on the card.
Moving cards across lists is super easy, by clicking and dragging them to a different list. Lists can act as repositories for ideas, documents, and resources. The board sidebar displays all of the board members, and the members with a blue icon on their avatar are the board admins. They can set permissions for the board, and you can add new members to your board by clicking the add members button.
The Activity Feed for the board shows all of the actions that have occurred on the board since it was created. Finally, the board menu is where you can find all of the board level settings and features. Board admins can set permissions for the board, and power-ups provide extra functionality on your board, such as a calendar view and card voting.
Stickers are a fun way to add visual information to a card, and card filters allow you to focus on cards on a board by a combination of their labels, members, due dates, or keywords. Instead of deleting cards and lists, they are archived so that they can easily be referenced or returned to your board at any point in the future.
With Trello, it’s also possible to create new cards by email. Each board member has a unique email address associated with a board that will let them create new cards on that board.
In conclusion, Trello is a free and powerful project management tool that can help you manage your tasks and projects efficiently.
