Project Management Tools Trello Overview
Trello 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. Trello offers paid premium plans, which extend the functionality, but at $10/user/month it struggles to compete with the other tools in this list. www.techtic.com | info@techtic.com
Project Management Tools Trello Pros Very lightweight Intuitive interface Price
Very lightweight Information expires quickly
Set up in just a few minutes & structure is easy to maintain. Team members can be on-boarded fast. Free version is good enough for most simple projects and lightweight processes. Cons The flip side of being lightweight is that it is hard to provide a lot of options for customization for companies with more elaborate workflows. Limited activity log and search capabilities coupled with minimal labeling options make it hard to track information over a longer period of time. www.techtic.com | info@techtic.com
