Trello Interactive Demo
Explore a demo of Trello, a visual collaboration tool used for organizing projects into boards, allowing users to see what's being worked on and who is working on it at a glance.
What is Trello?
Trello is a visual project management tool based on the kanban board methodology, owned by Atlassian. Launched in 2011 and acquired by Atlassian in 2017, Trello's simple card-and-column interface has made it one of the most widely adopted project management tools in the world, with over 50 million users.
The core concept is a Board containing Columns (lists) containing Cards (tasks). Cards move across columns to represent progress — from 'To Do' to 'In Progress' to 'Done'. Cards can hold checklists, due dates, attachments, comments, labels, and members.
Trello's Power-Ups extend its functionality with timeline views, calendar views, automation, and integrations with tools like Slack, Google Drive, and GitHub. Trello Automation (formerly Butler) lets users create rules and scheduled commands to reduce manual work.
How to get started with Trello
- 1
Create your free account and first board
Sign up at trello.com — the free plan includes unlimited cards, 10 boards per workspace, and basic Power-Ups. Create your first board and name it after your project or team.
- 2
Set up your columns (lists)
Create lists that represent your workflow stages. A basic workflow might be: Backlog → In Progress → Review → Done. Name your lists to match how your team actually works.
- 3
Create cards for each task
Add a card for each task or work item. Give it a descriptive title. Open the card to add a description, checklist, due date, members, labels, and attachments.
- 4
Add labels and checklists
Use colored labels to categorize cards (e.g. by priority, type, or client). Add checklists inside cards to break tasks into subtasks and track completion. Assign checklist items to specific team members.
- 5
Set up Automation
Use Trello Automation to create rules: move a card to 'Done' when its checklist is complete, archive cards older than 30 days, or send a notification when a due date is approaching. No code required.
