Trello was established at our organization to maintain our new hire checklist and collaborate on projects within the hospital.
- Trello was easily laid out in visual boards, similar to Pinterest.
- It was easy to create checklist within a project.
- It was easy to tag another team member to a project board.
- Too many boards made it difficult to locate tasks quickly.
- I found myself spending too much time looking for information when trying to reference something within a project.
- The look and feel of the product appeared less professional than other project management software that I have used.
We are using Trello in an unusual setting: a surgical department in a training hospital. We are using it to manage ongoing research projects, patient care solutions, and team communication. Since surgical departments are generally busy, it is essential to keep track of any ongoing projects. Every doctor within the clinic has a Trello account, we have different boards for research projects, healthcare innovation ideas, etc. Everyone can comment on ongoing projects and specify the problems that they encounter. It is easy to lose track of the work when you have a busy daily routine, so Trello helps us keep going throughout the day and keeps what is important in the platform. It is also easier to plan scientific research with the kanban method that Trello utilizes.
- Making it easy to to manage scientific projects.
- Having a platform that lets every clinician comment and collaborate on ongoing work.
- Helping to distribute the workload evenly.
- Mobile app could be improved.
- Although it is pretty functional, there is room for improvement in user interface.
- Drive integration could be improved.

Trello works as a task management board. We used it as an integrated system between departments, where the chiefs of operations, the CEO and the workers can access and modify tasks in real time. It helps organize the workflow related to content creation in a very simple and quick way.
- Simple task management
- Real time actions and updates
- user friendly platform
- Integration with other software
- Further customizing features
- Boards management customization

Trello is used by individual users in our organization. It is an easy to use, intuitive and graphically pleasing service. Most people are using it as a planning board using all kinds of lists. For me personally, I use it to track my tasks and use different lists for all the statuses. Adding a bit of color makes it easily interpretable in a second. Having the mobile app helps me keep track on the road.
- Graphically pleasing.
- Easy to work with, easy to understand.
- Sharing is easy.
- I don't like the pricing on the version that has AD-integration. It is way too much.

Trello is being used across the whole organization, to better label and prioritizes tasks. We actually integrate it within our company Slack, in order to get updates on tasks being done, as well as new tasks being updated on Trello by our admin. It allows our operations team to add new tasks automatically to our Slack channel to specific employees which immediately sends notifications to each employee. Also allows our employees to update us on their progress on tasks assigned.
- Prioritizing tasks, using colour codes.
- Drag and drop interface to move tasks along the progress funnel.
- Integration with third party softwares to automate notifications to select employees.
- Further integration with de-bugging tools for our dev team
- Ability to notify certain employees for tasks that pertain to them only to remove clutter
- Integration with Microsoft Project as well, as bizanalyst require more powerful tools

Trello is used company wide where I work. We have team boards and individual boards. We also have project boards. I find it very useful to organize all of the work within my division. It's easy to move cards around so you can keep up with all of the work and easily see and move everything in real time. We use the Scrum method and it fits in very seamlessly with this agile structure.
- Easy to use and learn interface
- A lot of capability to customize each card
- Very easy to collaborate with a team, both internally and externally
- Search feature
- Notification system

I use it to organize my ideas and projects. It keeps things online so I can access it anywhere.
- Simple layout
- Accessible over multiple devices
June 25, 2020

Trello is used at my organization to lay out and track team goals and initiatives on a quarterly basis. We use it to split our goals up by teams, and then individual topics. It helps keep things organized and easily displayed and tracked. It is not being used across the whole organization, but rather on a team-by-team basis, wherever it's best suited.
- Collaboration - Trello makes it very easy to track what everyone is doing, has gotten done, and still has to get done. Everything for everyone is displayed clearly in the same place.
- Customization - Trello offers plenty of flexibility when it comes to customizing the dashboard to fit the team's needs. All sorts of colors, shapes, icons, tags, labels, and different list types are available
- Filters - When it comes to searching, there's plenty of available filters that use the labels and tags that you can use to help speed up your searches within your dashboard.
- Kanban boards - Not that there's anything wrong with Kanban boards, but Trello is limited to them, whereas other alternatives offer different views you can use.
- No calendar support - Trello doesn't natively offer support for calendar integration, while other options do.
- Limited to simple descriptions - If you're hoping to write detailed documents on your board for your different tasks, Trello may not be the best option as you're limited to shorter descriptions.

This is being used in our company to track client implementations and also to track our product roadmap. While we have several boards for each department, we allow any user to be able to have access to it. This has led us to be more collaborative and increased transparency across the company.
- Task organization
- Timeline tracking
- Lots of manual set up
- Clunky integrations
Trello makes it easy to manage workflows on the go. Its mobile app design is very intuitive and allows for online sharing as well as offline use so that you can log tasks whenever you think of them. It is easy to manage multiple projects and you get the ability to customize your workflow however you see fit. You are then able to get into the grittier details to log information about each task that needs to be done and easily move them from one stage to the next.
- Mobile App
- Intuitive Design
- Easy of Use
- Offline and Online Use
- It was a little difficult to figure out how to remove a project.
- Could have the ability to work with other task management systems.
- Probably would be useful for businesses if Trello provided more insight into the work.
We use Trello as part of our training tools to help the training team keep on track with who we are training and where we are in the process. We also use it for operations. We have all our lists in Trello that we use everyday. Using Trello means that anyone who needs to use the list will have access to it on their phone or a company device. It also means that leadership can constantly follow up with the team and ensure that lists are being completed.
- Operational Lists
- To Do lists
- Brainstorming team boards
- Repeat function
- Able to see completion of cards in the APP
- Ability to assign cards to individuals

Trello has been a godsend for organizing multiple projects with many moving parts yet needing a platform that is clean, clear, and quickly display the various statuses of the project. People new to Trello can read and understand what's going on just as if they were using Trello for years. I can't stress just how simple it is from a user perspective.
- Simplicity - This isn't complicated. You log-in and it immediately know how to use it.
- Cleanliness - Trello doesn't clutter itself with extra features or unneeded visuals. They keep it straight forward.
- User Experience - They built the platform where user experience comes first. If you need a feature, it's there and it's intuitive to where you need to go to access it. They don't hide it deep within the system or in strange spots that don't make sense.
- Setup - I wish the customization when you first set-up your Admin account could be a little easier. It's a breeze past set-up.
- Customer Support - It may have just been my experience but it took a while to get assistance when I reached out to their customer service team via their support email.

Trello is a kind of task management tool, we're working with Agile methodologies and Trello is useful at that point. We're using the tool to assign tasks and manage those tasks across team members. As far as I know aside from the administrative department the whole organization uses this tool. We haven't faced any issues, but when you reach the limits like having too many tasks under one title it gets hard to handle. You must use some other functions at that point, like tagging your tasks.
- Tagging the task with colors or patterns helps keep tasks separated from each other.
- Archive the projects or tasks, make them available anytime you would like to get them.
- It is totally online and supports cross-platforms which helps you use it anywhere.
- It is really an easy tool to get familiar with.
- Having too many tasks on the project makes it hard to manage.
- When you set time for tasks it notifies you back, that would be nice to have a Gantt chart in order to see the whole project in landscape mode.
- While sending mail or sharing the task I would like to set a template for how the tasks appear while sharing.
- Some auto rules can be implemented which can be managed from a dashboard, like if this happens then make something like that.

Our team uses it to make it easier for us to work on common projects. We like that we're able to set deadlines using it and see who that particular project belongs to. We also like how it organizes every assignments that we currently have from the ones that we've already finished.
- You can set a pipeline for your projects.
- Being able to organize all your tasks.
- Color coding of cards according to the priority of each task.
- It uses huge internet bandwidth so a stable internet connection is necessary.
- Some functionalities like a button that will allow you to bold, underline, cross out letters is not available.

We are using Trello mainly as a task list for things that we are not able (or not permitted) to open an tracker or incident on JIRA. Tasks like "Internal system xyz needs to be updated to the latest version of PHP". The fact that we can fully integrate it with JIRA SD and Confluence is one of the most wonderful things in Trello: you don't need to copy-paste everything. Place it in one platform and voila: you can simply import/export it to/from Trello.
- Task management: you can assign tasks to teams or to someone in particular
- You can, with some workaround, create a full Kanban system
- It is a bit difficult to use in the first tries. A lot of colors, a lot of boards, a lot of projects... But you can and will get used to it easily.

We use Trello to manage ongoing projects--specifically those that have many balls in the air at the same time and set time schedules that occur throughout the year. Using Trello has allowed us to 'let go' of the worry of missing a key part of the project or a key completion date. These projects have the high likelihood of being handed off for management by others, so it is key to have everything down in black and white to be sure everything continues to run smoothly, even with a change in the staff/management of the project.
- Keeps our To-Do list organized and visible
- Shares project status with all interested parties
- Allows others to contribute to the tracking of the project
- Some features are only available in the subscription version. Trello is great enough to use at home/with family projects, as well, but paying for some of the fun stuff is a hard sell.
Trello is used heavy in our business for multiple departments. It is used in our development, finance, and graphic design departments. Trello is a amazing tool to keep all of the many things that need to be done in an organized way. You are able to list your tasks into multiple columns and you can even assigned the the tasks to specific individuals to work on that task. Our company is much more successful because things are getting done when they need to get done.
- Collaboration with team members
- Organization
- Get Projects done faster
- Success with Accomplishing Goals
- Unable to Connect with other software to communicate everything.
- Learning Curve to Use the Tool

Some people in our organization use Trello, and most users are happy to use it as their primary method to plan projects and smaller tasks. For my small Digital Media department (2 persons) we use it to store all tasks and ongoing projects. This way we keep track of anything, and can let our manager know what's ongoing.
- 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
- Allow tables as content for comment or description in Cards
- Assign priority to certain cards (easy for sorting)
- Create an open invite link for others to join/view the Trello board, without edit rights (so people don't need to install/use Trello if they want a quick glance on what's going on)

Trello is currently being used for project management for customers going through our onboarding and training process. We track details about each customers' background, our interactions with them throughout the process, and use Trello's different channels to move cards Kanban-style through our onboarding flow. It's also free for our team, which has been very helpful.
- Powerful free version
- Multiple users and can save lots of data (appears to be unlimited storage)
- Very user-friendly UI
- Reporting capabilities within Trello are lacking
- Trello doesn't offer a ton of customization or have various widgets quite as intuitive as monday.com
- There have been times where users have issues with Trello loading for them

My entire organization utilizes Trello at a number of levels. First, we use it to manage business development by creating a board with business leads, bid information, and proposals. Then, when a project goes into production we create a separate board or list with information about how the project will be managed through completion. Each employee also uses Trello to manage their individual day-by-day schedule by creating boards with Monday-Friday lists that help prioritize, schedule, and execute individual tasks.
- Trello is a useful tool for breaking down project tasks in a user interface that is visually easy to understand and drag and drop friendly, while also allowing a level of detail within individual cards that allow you to keep up with specific tasks and notes based on how things are organized.
- Checklists are one of my favorite features on Trello cards. They allow for you to add details and to-do lists for yourself or your team, and it's easy to divide and conquer or convert to cards if you need to expand.
- I love how you can drag and drop a particular card to another list. If you need to move tasks, cards, notes, (or whatever you are using a card for) to another list, it's incredibly simple.
- I love how open and editable Trello is. You can totally adapt it based on the project or task size - it's useful for small or large teams.
- In some ways, the thing that is great about Trello is also what is so difficult - it's an open slate. Unless you have a clear path about how to systemize your processes, it can be a bit difficult to get started.
- Communication - The commenting is a bit limited and on larger projects or boards, it's easy to lose track of conversations. It would be nice if there were a way to unify chatting into one place or better organize it.
- Templates - There aren't enough useful templates. Part of this I imagine is because everyone uses Trello differently, but I haven't yet found one that fits my need perfectly. I'd like to create my own templates for my team to use - and there are some ways to do that, but I'd prefer to have more options than currently exist.

I have been using Trello to organize my tasks and set my day up. I have also been using Trello to organize our media content and content schedule. We don't currently use Trello on an organizational level, but I have presented the solution to the principal and will be getting everyone on board soon so we can manage multiple projects across the organization.
- Incredible overview of tasks or projects.
- Ability to sort projects with a label and subtasks.
- I honestly don't have a negative that I can think of. If the software itself doesn't do something well, there is a power-up to add that removes the limited functionality.
- The only drawback I can think of is the limited use of power-ups unless you pay for the enterprise level.
August 12, 2019
Trello is used on a person by person bases at my organization. I use Trello as a bit of a to-do list/Kanban board. I know some teams use Trello across their group but it's more common for this to be used for personal organization at Billtrust. For group tasks, we are more likely to rely on JIRA or Clarizen.
- UI - Trello is intuitive and easy to set up.
- Customization - You can change your background color, create as many lists as you want, as many boards as you want, color code, add details, etc.
- Collaboration - It is super easy to invite others to share a board or assign them tasks. In my volunteer work, we share a board and assign one another tasks. In my last company, I created a list per team member for them to move work into when they picked up the assignment.
- Ease of Access - I prefer the web app but the phone is easy to use too
- 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.
August 12, 2019
Our company uses Trello within specific teams, rather than across the entire organization. My team (product content strategy) used Trello for task management up until a few months ago, when we switched to JIRA Software along with the rest of the product, UX design, and development teams. There are still a few teams who use Trello (like the localization team), so I use their Trello board whenever I need to request translations for dashboard copy.
- Trello is extremely easy to use. You can create a board and get up and running in minutes. It's very easy to add new users, share permissions, create and edit cards, etc.
- Trello has a fun brand personality and UI. It sounds silly, but I loved being able to set different photographs as backgrounds -- always made me smile. Their documentation and emails are cute and easy to read.
- Trello is a great value price-wise and offers a very good free membership.
- Trello doesn't have all of the functionality of some other competitors. For example, you can't create "swim lanes" that highlight specific issues at the top of each column, or create multiple statuses within a single column.
- Trello is fantastic for simple views but can appear overwhelming once you add many cards with many fields. I could get around this by filtering to only see cards assigned to myself, but it was hard to otherwise pick out my cards at a glance.
- Trello only offers one kanban view. You can filter this view, but it would be great if there were multiple views that let you reorganize and view your cards in different ways.
August 01, 2019
Trello is being used basically by the project management team to organize tasks and schedule them for proper and effective execution. We have started using it for a while already whereby it has demonstrated a high level of competency and capability to handle our projects. No matter the kind of project it is, both small and large projects have been successfully managed with the use of Trello. As a project manager, I am included as a user of this software.
- Trello's boards include a personal board, and also a team based board.
- File attachment is possible with Trello.
- With Trello, you can be able to collaborate better as a team when working on any project.
- There is limit to the size of files that can be attached. This should be increased.
- The capabilities of project it can handle is also limitted. Very large projects with multiple team may not be handled properly with Trello.
- Offline access is still not available. Maybe they should do something about that too.
