Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Trello in my work life (independently of my company). I couldn't imagine organizing my life without it! I use it to keep track of all of my work & personal projects. Even my study life has been improved by it. I've tried other 'to-do' & productivity applications and this one is my all-time favorite.

Pros and Cons

Task-to-project grouping
Collaboration with other project members
Plugin integration

Strange User Interface
Reminders are lacking

Return on Investment

More work done on-time
Less project objectives missed
Shorter time-to-completion on projects

Alternatives Considered

Todoist and Evernote

Trello simply does what the others cannot. Todoist just lumped all of my tasks together and it didn't have an organized and cohesive flow, and Evernote really only did well as a note-taking application. Trello was able to cohesively put all of my projects and tasks in an organized manner so I could evaluate when I needed to do each task.

Other Software Used

Evernote, MEGA, Cisco Webex Teams (formerly Cisco Spark)

Likelihood to Recommend

I find that Trello is best used when your project has many sub-tasks. It fits even better if you need to integrate other things like pictures, diagrams, notes from Evernote, or Google Drive documents. It's not well suited if you're just doing a simple to-do list. The layout of Trello is very "project-oriented."

Trello: ACTUALLY organize your tasks.
