My experience with Trello.
Overall Satisfaction with Trello
A colleague at the head office recommended Trello to me, and I used Trello to monitor the development of new learning resources. I started to use it as part of my personal productivity routine. It helped me keep track of my daily and weekly To-Do lists and was a key component of my Weekly Review process. I created a series of personal Kanban boards. The Card format of Trello lends itself to this approach. As a visual thinker, the colour coding of the cards helped me understand what needed to be done and what type of task it was. Finally, the physical movement of cards from 'To Do' to my weekly plan and then to 'Done' was helpful and satisfying.
Pros
- Allows you to create cards for specific tasks.
- Allows you to colour code cards for different types of task.
- Makes it easy to create a functioning Kanban Board.
Cons
- I use colour coding a lot so I would like a wider range of colour options.
- Also as a visual thinker I would like to be able to easily add images to cards.
- I would like to be able to attach a wider range of file formats to cards.
- I got great output from the free version.
- The return on investment was excellent because I used the free version.
- It was easier to convince colleagues to give it a try as we all used the free version.
Trello is more visual than Todoist and MS To Do. For me, the major advantage of Trello is its functionality around creating Kanban Boards—there is not the same flexibility or options in either of the other two products. I was also able to seek advice from colleagues who were experienced users, which was really useful when I was getting started.
