Learning  Trello to manage your projects ; Lesson 01

What is Trello?

Trello is a project management tool,  equipped almost with everything you need to organize and collaborate projects of different size.

You can create separate boards for each of your projects, or dedicate a board to different sets of activities that your team needs to execute. Open a card and you can add comments, upload file attachments, create checklists, add labels and due dates, and many more. This blog post will give you a basic idea of how to cope with Trello and in the future posts the conversation will lead until you become a Trello expert to bring comfort for your project work, in other words this is a task management app that gives you a visual overview of what is being worked on and who is working on it. It used the Kanban system, which was developed in Toyota as a system to keep production levels high and maintain flexibility. It is best represented as a whiteboard filled with post-it notes.
