• Easy color categorization of the "Cards" (which can represent anything from projects to tasks)
• Ease of use overall - you can divide work into columns and move it from column to column depending on status
• You can create multiple boards, which are spaces to store tasks (for different work contexts, or even private boards)
• You can easily share boards with another person
• You can easily assign tasks (Cards) to persons
• You can store information in cards, like files and short format text

• Cumbersome processes - feels like tasks take longer than they should.
• We gave up on the Projects module, it was rather unintuitive. Switched to JIRA, which integrates with the Support module of Accelo.
• Each email address requires a new contact. If one person uses multiple email addresses to contact you, that info will have to be spread across multiple contacts.

• Swim Lanes - they are nonexistent. There is a third-party tool to add them but it's buggy as all get out
• View - I am not sure how to do it but I really wish I didn't have to pick between viewing all cards with no detail or one with all detail. Maybe the ability to collapse and expand?
• Integrations - It would be amazing if I could easily pop action items from Gmail over to Trello, but right now I can only copy text or upload screenshot attachments.

• Helps with tracking prospects through the sales/marketing funnel
• Has led some employees to stop using the tool and going back to spreadsheets. When trying to attach targets to tags you need to do so individually and if you upload a large list you need to do this manually, one by one, and requires a lot of time. So people have gone back to spreadsheets where they could simply just cut and paste new people in.

• Trello helps me maintain visibility into what my international teams are doing - even if we can't be in the same room together, we can be on the same board together.
• Trello helps us manage WIP so as to reduce the amount of things we are trying to do simultaneously.
• (Negative) Our teams often use Trello as a crutch for traditional communication - instead assuming people will detect changes on the board on their own.
