Overall Satisfaction with Trello

We use Trello to manage our product roadmaps and upcoming tasks in various teams. It is useful in determining the size and effort of various pieces of work and how that adds up to a release. It helps us to be flexible and collaborate both in meetings and outside of meetings.
  • Organise priorities within a project
  • Oversee capacity for a team or roadmap
  • Foster collaboration within a project with tools such as voting
  • Assign and total up associated costs for individual pieces of work
  • Automatically determine when a swimlane is over capacity
  • Create templates for different uses with pre-determined calculations such as team velocity, cost, timeframes
  • Review whether some plug-ins should be automatically included, like the epic point calculator
  • The plug-in feature that determines capacity and team velocity
  • Flexible swimlanes that you can customise for your individual needs
  • Due date calculator
  • Cost calculator
  • Provides visibility of roadmap to all stakeholders
  • Enables faster decision making
  • Enables faster collaboration in meetings
  • Jira Service Management (Jira Service Desk)
For our purposes and my role in the business, Trello is simpler and easier to use. I found Jira very hard to navigate to individual projects, and the process of creating a card was very time-consuming. That said, I think Jira performs a number of roles that Trello doesn't, and I can see that they both have strengths for slightly different reasons.

Do you think Trello delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Trello's feature set?

Yes

Did Trello live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Trello go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Trello again?

Yes

It is well suited to meetings with large numbers of participants where you need groups or pairs to interact with and use the board during discussions. It was well used in our company pre-pandemic, and I think it is well suited to remote or hybrid workshops. It is well suited to projects that are in a state of flux because it is very flexible.
