About Trello

Trello organizes work into boards, lists and cards, the classic kanban layout that made visual task management popular. Cards hold checklists, due dates, attachments and comments, and they move across lists as work progresses. Power-Ups add calendars, integrations and custom fields, while built-in automation handles repetitive steps such as moving cards or assigning people. Trello is owned by Atlassian, which also makes Jira. It is easy for non-technical teams to pick up, though larger projects often outgrow a single board view and need more reporting.

Best for: Small teams that want simple visual boards.
