How it Works


Trello uses a paradigm to manage projects which is popularly known as kanban. Kanban is a method that was originally launched by Toyota in the 1980s for the purpose of supply chain management system. The system carries out Projects by board representations, containing lists that correspond to the task lists. Now these Lists consists of cards that again correspond with the tasks. These Cards are created to take forward the tasks from one list to the next, and any User can be assigned to these cards. Trello, operates through a 'freemium' model of business, whose basic service is been provided free of cost, although a Business Class paid-for service was simultaneously launched in 2013.

Pros


Easy to use interface, speed and flexibility, customized labels, Email and SMS Notifications are few among many other specific benefits of using Trello.

Cons


Trello doesn't contain the Gantt chart facility which is quite surprising as it provides every other traditional project management features. Though that is not a big stopper to get the app, but definitely a Gantt chart would have made it complete.

The other loophole is that though Trello supports card view to enable agility in development, it does not allow any management option for a product backlog.

The Verdict


Overall it is a really useful tool for organizing a business for its effective growth.
