Trello
What is Trello?
Trello is a useful tool that allows you to create boards, cards and lists of jobs and activities that need to be accomplished. Trello makes it easy to organise and prioritise items on you lists to ensure they are completed. It essentially allows you to have a board meeting with your team without having to be there as well as being a reference to your progress as you go.
What services it provides?
Trello provides;
- An easy and fun way of setting tasks and tracking progress
- A platform to set tasks and chat to your employees/team where you/they are in the world
- An effective place to keep your jobs/activities/tasks organised and miss due dates
How it has helped us?
As an organisation where our staff are not always working together physically, Trello enables instructions, updates, questions and tasks to all be in the one place without having to interrupt, call or text others. It has made our working environment a much easier and effective place for our employees to be.
