This article explains how to use Trello to stay organized. These tips will help you and your team get the most out of Trello, no matter what kind of tasks you’re tracking.
How to Use Trello to Stay Organized
Trello uses boards, lists, and cards, along with labels, categories, tags, and colors to keep them organized and up to date.
Boards are Trello’s core organizational tool, where you attach lists and cards. They’re usually projects (a website redesign, for example, or a bathroom remodel) and contain lists of tasks (like graphics and tiling) and cards (subtasks and options, like hiring a designer or deciding on tile sizes and colors).
Once you’ve decided how you want to organize your lists, you can add cards, which can contain checklists and labels. Checklists are a way to break tasks down into subtasks. For example, if you’re using Trello to plan a vacation, you might have a card for a restaurant you want to try, with a checklist that includes making reservations, researching the best dishes, and making sure it’s kid-friendly.
