What is Trello? Trello is an online (web) collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards. In one glance, Trello tells you what’s being worked on, who’s working on what, and where something is in a process. Trello is a free web-based project management application that falls under the general category of collaborative software.

Whether you’re at work, at home, or anywhere in between, Trello’s simple and flexible design lets your team collaborate and organize everything (literally, everything—from the day-to-day operations of your business to your next family vacation). Teams make it easy to organize all of your Trello boards and team members in one accessible location, saving everyone time and miscommunication (goodbye endless email chains!).

Trello uses the concept of boards (boards are the projects, and cards are the tasks). There’s no limit to the number of boards or members you can have in a team, and no limit to the number of teams you can create.

As an alternative to Trello, you might consider Microsoft Planner.
