Trello Introduction

What is Trello

Trello is a web-based collaboration tool that allows teams or individuals to organize and track their work. The 3 main concepts are Boards, Lists and Cards

Boards

A Board represents a "set of related work". That could be a project, a team, an event, or whatever tasks (Cards) you feel should be grouped together. You can create multiple boards and move work between them.

Lists

Within each board, you can create multiple lists. A List usually represents different stages or areas of a project. You can example create the lists "Todo," "In Progress," and "Completed" to track the progress, but there are no hard limits to how and how many lists you have

Cards

A Card normally represents a piece of work that one or more users (called Members) can work on. Each card must belong to a specific list. A Card can be as simple as a Name/Title, but you can include descriptions, labels (tags), checklists, attachments, dates, and comments for more control and categorization.

Other Basic concepts

• Labels are Tags you can assign to cards for Categorization
• Checklists are lists inside cards with one or more check items for a further breakdown of what the work is about
• Workspaces are a Group of Boards and can as an example represent a department or categorization of boards. In the Trello API workspaces are called Organizations
• Webhooks can be set up against a Trello Board, so external systems can be notified about changes or you can use them to make Automations and other integrations
• Power-Ups are extensions that extend the Trello Board in various ways (Using the API is not considered a Power-Up, but a power-Up can consume the API)
