Trello is a multifunctional office service that simplifies the processes of corporate interaction between participants leading or developing a common project under the supervision of management.
No more searching for lost email threads, scrolling through monotonous spreadsheets hoping to find important information, or downloading the programs you need to sort things out or save entries in your diary – Trello will unite every step, and also help to combine undertakings with colleagues, adding transparency and additional control over the situation.
Trello features and benefits
Process organization
Understanding the features of Trello is initially difficult – columns and cards, items and images, strange drop-down menus and additional buttons pop up on the screen. But it is worth taking a closer look and the analogies are already clear. In Trello, work is done in columns divided into cards. Each column can be responsible for saving the ideas that have appeared, for adding news, or for the tasks set by the developers.
Cards, on the other hand, are easy to store information, create surveys and to-do lists, and then open the information received to friends or colleagues in just two clicks. Tired of cards and columns? Information is easily transferred to the archive and stored there until it gets into the trash.
Enhancements
The interaction algorithm chosen by the developers is devoid of elements that overload the interface or force you to spend hours looking through additional information.
But, if there is a need for improvements – plugins, extensions – no one bothers to turn to the column with improvements that open access to Slack and cloud storage, chats and even instant messengers!
Settings
The options panel in Trello is extensive – no one bothers to change the background and language, set additional security options and configure notifications, enable enhancements and allow notifications on the desktop.
It is worth considering even minor changes, and it will become even easier to work, and your goals will no longer look unattainable!
Access, Development, and Versions
The Trello service offers you to interact with colleagues, keep personal notes and decompose ideas and concepts into tasks both on mobile platforms with iOS and Android, and on computers with Windows, MacOS and Linux operating systems. And yet – it is easy to trust the secrets of Trello in the web version available on the official website. There are the same functions and features, but you do not need to download anything in advance before work – just log in.
The service is distributed in three versions – regardless of the platform and region:
- Basic. A free option that allows you to work with an unlimited number of boards, cards and lists, attachments and lists. There are no restrictions on the number of participants either – you can share access to information even with an entire department. Even in the basic version, Power-Up is available (a special improvement that allows you to download plugins and modules and visually or technically change the capabilities of the board) and the function of attaching documents, images and files no larger than 10 MB (an alternative option is to attach links from cloud storages or websites ).
- Business Class. A business subscription is issued for $9.99. Of the advantages – integration with the Evernote diary, the GitHub platform, the Slack service and cloud storages such as Google Disk, Dropbox or OneDrive. There will also be a chance to attach files up to 250 megabytes, send invitations with different access levels and receive priority information support in a chat with developers.
- Enterprise. The subscription will cost $20 per month (there are also concessions depending on the number of participants), but there will be a single sign-on system with support for two-factor authentication and encryption of confidential information, access to security analysis and other functions that facilitate control.
And most importantly, for Enterprise subscribers, the initial setup of projects with implementation in the workspace is provided!
Reviews
The developers at Fog Creek Software, who brought Trello to the world, have won numerous awards for transforming the way corporate communications work.
Calendars, notifications, boards and cards, attachments and spreadsheets – you no longer have to switch between stickers attached to your computer desktop and office monitor, no need to look for documents and printouts, open archives and hope that an important Word document has not yet been moved to basket.
With Trello, even a tiny nuance won’t go out of sight. Hence the positive feedback – it becomes easier to work, and there is more free time!
