Customer Success Manager at PeerSpot
My primary use case for Trello is project management and collaboration with specific teams, mainly dealing with customized customer requests for content. I typically use Trello to organize tasks by going to the relevant board, adding descriptions, attachments, dates, and members, and then managing the project through comments and updates.

We use Trello to manage projects and different tasks with various teams to manage our workflows. Some examples include getting content created. We put a card onto Trello with a content request, and then it gets moved along the queue as different people do what they need to do. It's also a way to prioritize different items by having different columns for tasks that need to get done. We can organize them by time or status. Trello is very customizable.

I have a free account on Trello. There are two many tools that I have used in the past. I had used Trello for some time in the past, but since my needs were too simple, I stopped using it.

My main use case for Trello is to organize our job and for project management, and it helps us to organize tickets, set priorities, and build a feature list schedule for our team.

We use checklists to organize priorities and organize job to do one by one, step-by-step, so it really helps us to build it.

We typically use the solution for project management. We use it for tracking tasks, risks, issues etc. 

it is great that it is a cloud based SaaS solution which makes it really easily to set up and start using it.

Card and checklist capability make it easy to keep everything together at one place, and for the senior management to review key projects and the updates. Ability to prioritise and indicate variance allows us to highlight important issues and bring oversight at the right time.

I use Trello for small teams. It's my day-to-day work, and it's for small teams.

So I have a small team of five members. So we have a backlog for my team. I use it for that. And when I do trainings, I use the training backlog as part of Trello. And when I offer coaching, I use Trello for goal setting and helping them to focus on the goals, and visualize the goals and those scenarios.

OK
Consultant at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Our teams use it to overview operations and pre-sales activity. For project management, different teams utilised the project tracking features, such as to-do lists, the backlog and follow-up actions. Personally, I have used Trello to organise, plan and streamline operations activities such as checklists on to-do lists and previous activities for reporting. The planning activities on Trello include, what to do today, the progress status, and the follow-up action afterward with minimal tracking activities.

Due to the tiered pricing, we have yet to use Trello at maximum capacity.

The primary use case is to manage tickets. Whenever they create any kind of ticket, they send again our task, I simply resolve them and move it to the resolved section.

VT
Senior ICT Consultant/Project Manager at Qualisys

I use the solution for agile project management. I use Trello to list all the tickets that the development team needs to resolve.

You can list all tickets that the development team needs to develop. Once they finish, they can pass the ticket to the next list for testing. Once the ticket is tested, they can pass it to deployment. Once the item is deployed, they can close this ticket.

It helps to manage the life cycle of a ticket or of the requirements in development. You list it. You capture it. You schedule it. For each requirement, you try to ensure that it passed all stages of development, testing, deployment, and closing.

I have hardly had the chance to use Trello since I operated as an admin who was mostly engaged with the use cases of people in my company, where it was widely used. Trello was a tool that was mostly used as an ERP system. Trello was generally used for work balancing and creating to-do lists.

CEO & Co-founder at Adamo Digital

My company is hiring an outsourced copywriter team for some content purpose. For the first time, we connect by email for exchanging writing documents. Unfortunately, performing tasks by email came up with a poor result that we could not control the progress when several team members participating.

Hence, we need communication software to control the process and results. File storage and process tracking are two key targets. Normal instant text messaging software like Skype or Messenger is not suitable in this case. We have come up with Kanban software, and Trello is one of the top selections.

We use Trello for task management. We've used it a lot in the last year. I'm able to integrate it within Aha! and link to the Trello board. I kind of use the Aha! side more myself and it feeds into Trello. I do pull up Trello to look and make sure things are in the right spot and we review biweekly in Trello.

PL
Customer Success Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

We primarily use the solution to organize projects.

Trello is mainly for a Kanban-style of product management. You have a set of tasks and you'll move tasks from one phase to another phase. They won't do anything themselves from the organization's perspective, or from the strategy or the product perspective. A user needs to manipulate the information and set up the processes. If they want to introduce any product, they'll make a different board for that product. Jira, on the other hand, for example, has both a Scrum mode for managing projects and having a toolkit as well as a Kanban-style board.
