Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In the organization we use Trello to manage the projects we have in process. It is excellent to know what each team member has to do, in the area of web development, graphic design and marketing. We are not confused about what each of us has to do, what he is doing and what he has already done. It is great even to clarify the doubts that arise during the development of the project. When I have a question about solving a problem in the code, I can post it on a Trello dashboard to discuss it with my colleagues. I like it very much so that we all discuss solutions.

Pros and Cons

Organize projects very well.
The tag system is great for prioritizing one task over another.
Notifications are perfect to be aware of what is happening during the work day.
Trello is a very secure application and keeps data confidential.

If a project becomes very large, the board system becomes very difficult to keep orderly.
Integration with other tools, such as GitHub is a bit complicated and I prefer not to use that.
Personalization I see a little limited.

Return on Investment

The productivity of the team grew a lot.
The tasks of each team member are very clear.
People who know how to use integration with other software well use it very well, although I don't like it.
The team can communicate very easily.

Alternatives Considered

Asana

Trello is very easy to use. It is an intuitive software that does not require prior learning to take advantage of it. Asana has a complicated interface, not very intuitive and difficult to use. Trello has an intuitive interface that I like very much.

Compared to other alternatives, Trello simulates very well a blackboard dynamic that I like very much. It makes everything that should be so simple. He doesn't invent anything new, but he implements it perfectly, without complications. The use is very natural to me.

Support Rating

When I have a question, the support answers it. Sometimes it gives me a little confusing instructions or it takes a long time to respond. I do not like that. When in doubt, I prefer to search for the solution on the Internet. I don't think it's a bad support, but it's not very good either. It can be better.

Likelihood to Recommend

For a digital work team, it is a magnificent tool. Any teamwork is made much easier with Trello. Managing is easy and even more knowing the indications that are on the dashboards. As many types of files can be uploaded, I think there is no digital work that does not take advantage of Trello's features. I tried to use Trello as a personal tool and it was very confusing. For a person who wants to have this application as a personal To-Do-List, I do not recommend it.

Trello is a fantastic option to manage projects and tasks
