Trello Product Overview

Trello is a visual collaboration tool that creates a shared perspective on any project and organizes projects into boards. At one glance, the software tells users what's being worked on, who's working on what, and where something is in process. It brings all tasks, teammates, and tools together.

Trello’s boards, lists, and cards enable users to organize and prioritize their personal and work life in a flexible and rewarding way. It empowers teams to manage any type of project, workflow, or task tracking. Team members can add files and checklists or automate processes and customize everything to fit how the team works best.

From meetings and projects to events and goal setting, Trello’s features give users the ability to set up workflows for just about anything. Teams can ideate plans, collaborate on projects, and track progress visually. The solution manages the big milestones and the day-to-day tasks of working together and getting things done.

Breakdown of core features

Cards

Trello cards enhance work organization and ensure that every single part of the task can be managed, tracked, and shared with teammates. Users can open cards to uncover an ecosystem of information, such as due dates, attachments, and project notes. Team members can also break down bigger card tasks into steps with file attachment previews, reminders, checklists, and comments. With Trello cards, teams can visually manage deadlines, provide and track feedback, assign tasks, and hand off work.

Automation

No-code automation is built into every Trello board. With the Butler feature, users can focus on the work that matters most and let automation do the rest. As team members work on a Trello board, Butler will recognize repetitive actions performed and suggest automations based on those actions that can be enabled in a single click. Teams can create a foolproof process for moving work forward with Butler. They can also run commands and set automated rules for almost any action in the system.

Advanced checklists

Advanced checklists make the most out of team meetings and group planning. As each task is discussed, managers can add checklist items and assign teammates and due dates. The specific task, the associated team member, and the due date will automatically appear in the manager’s Calendar view.

Multiple views

Trello offers multiple ways to visualize projects. Users can view projects as a dashboard, a timeline, or a table, making it easier to visualize both high-level projects and day-to-day tasks. And team members can create as many custom overviews as they need across Workspace boards. The Workspace Table and Calendar views allow users to monitor minor details or large projects. With the ability to view board data from many different angles, the team stays up to date.
