About Trello
Trello is the simplest way to manage projects visually. Built around Kanban boards, it uses cards and lists to help teams organize tasks and workflows. Its drag-and-drop interface makes project management intuitive for everyone.
A Trello board consists of lists (typically "To Do," "Doing," "Done") filled with cards representing tasks. Cards can include descriptions, checklists, due dates, attachments, and comments. Moving cards between lists shows progress at a glance.
Owned by Atlassian, Trello integrates well with Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian tools. Its Power-Ups system allows integration with hundreds of other apps. While not as feature-rich as competitors, its simplicity is its strength.
