Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's used across two departments that were having a hard time knowing what the other department was doing and the impact their jobs had on each other. Implementing Trello to have a list between departments keeps both sides accountable and knowledgeable for the companies good.

Pros and Cons

Multiple task lists up at once.
Multiple ways to provide and assign tasks, well organized.
Freedom to build a workflow that best fits your team.

Personally, I don't need the pats on the back, power-ups, cute stickers, etc.
I wish the UI was a bit easier.
It would be nice to see how it's used with other companies to see how it can be developed more in our business.

Return on Investment

Opened communication across departments that are in different locations.
Considering we use the free version, it has not had any negatives.

Alternatives Considered

Basecamp

Basecamp has a broader set of functions and allows for client interaction. It has the task segment that Trello has but it also has many other options for collaboration and organization. Bigger product with a price tag that goes with it.

Other Software Used

ChannelAdvisor, ShipStation, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe InDesign, BigCommerce, Mailchimp, Hootsuite, Google Analytics, Google Ads (formerly AdWords)

Likelihood to Recommend

It has definitely helped keep all items on top of my mind. Knowing everyone can see each other's lists helps with accountability. However, it is a task-oriented program, not a full project management application. It has its place within our organization.

Trello is the Task Master
