Trello is a service for organizing projects of all sizes. It divides tasks into special boards so that you do not get confused in different projects, and your team can have access to individual tasks. In addition to the web version, Trello also has clients for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

When it comes to task managers and other tools for organizing work, it is almost impossible to make a choice. In theory, a huge assortment of various applications and services is a plus, because the more there are, the more likely you are to find the perfect option. The only problem is that there are also many good tools, so making a choice is not so easy.

And since Lifehacker, by definition, does not consider bad tools, today we will tell you about another great service that allows you to organize work of any size. It doesn't matter if you are a freelancer or a founder of a small startup.

It's about Trello, which we already talked about. Trello is a task and project manager that you will have to interact with through special boards - lists of different tasks. This concept is called kanban and was borrowed from the Japanese who value efficiency above all else.

Several boards are allocated for each project. By default this is:

• Tasks.
• Work tasks.
• Completed tasks.

Each board can contain an unlimited number of tasks, and tasks, in turn, can be filled with lists, notes and comments from other users. In Trello, you can interact with your employees in the same way as in standard CRM. You can work on tasks together, and, of course, all changes will be displayed for each user.

This is what history looks like. It is separate for each board. In the same field, you can add workflow participants, archive boards, mark them as private, or share them with everyone. Trello for iOS also has an extension for sending any information to the application, and a widget that displays current projects.

The iPad version is practically the same as the smartphone version. Here the interface elements have been slightly enlarged and it is somewhat more convenient to work with the boards. But I did not find any additional functionality or cool tricks.

In addition to mobile clients, Trello also has a web version. This is more of a plus than a minus, but she is also no different from other clients. The developers generally decided to take the simplest path and simply optimized the interface for different resolutions and screen sizes. This is an advantage for users: there is no need to re-learn several times.

As for the business model and any investments in Trello, everything is fine here. The service is free in the basic version, but it gives you the opportunity to purchase Trello Gold - additional features according to the subscription model. It costs $ 5 per month or $ 45 per year. There are not so many improvements: increased attachment size (250 MB versus 10 MB), access to stickers and additional backgrounds. If you want even more, you can purchase the Trello Business Class.

This service is designed for those who value organization and efficiency above all else. Working with boards allows you to conveniently manage different projects and not get confused in their intricacies. Trello has clients for all popular systems and a web version that allows you to use the service from any device.
