What is Trello?

According to the official website, “Trello is a 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.” A Trello board can be thought of as a portable bulletin board, filled with post-its that include progress bars, attachments, and more.

Trello uses an agile methodology for task management called Kanban.
