As stated before, Trello is a web application
that can be accesses through you PC or your phone/tablet. It used to show
progress on a certain project. It has a similar set up to something like Slack
where a group is created and only the people with access can add or see tasks.
Once the group is created, you can different boards to separate teams or groups
to work on specific things. Then, inside each board you create cards such as
"Done, Doing, To Do & BackBurner". Once you have these cards set
up, you can then add tasks to the cards. Those cards will then show the task
and where the people are on them.
For example, lets say you are designing a video
game. You will need programmer to write code, artists to draw and sound people
to create sounds. You can have a board for each of these groups of people. Then
inside, lets say, the programming board, you can list a series of task that the
programmers need to do such as "code enemy AI" or "code health
system" or "code menus". All task would probably start under the
"To Do" card. Once there some can grab or be assigned the task which
would then move to Doing. Once there, you can place comments on that task like
an instant message. You can also recreate a check list of sub task that you may
need to do as part of that overall task. Once completed, the task can be moved
to the Done card.
This sort of application really gives a good
representation of what tasks are needed to complete the project as well as you
get to see your progress as tasks are moved from one card to another. It may
sound simple but it is being used quite a bit with many different types of
groups and I'm sure it can be applied in almost any type of business situation.
