I would like to see Trello improved with more options for integration with other platforms, a way to manage an overall project with all the specifications, and then managing all the sub-cards related to that project.
Sometimes I get notifications in one hour, and I would prefer to receive them immediately in just a small stack, such as within two or three minutes, not an hour.
Having special fields for users such as members, testers, and verifiers would be beneficial, as it would be much easier for us than adding three people in a row as members.
Trello could be improved by having a better notification system. Currently, notifications flood my inbox, making it hard to differentiate what I actually need to open. Each card move or addition results in a new email, so a digest or a better way to receive notifications would be helpful. It would also be beneficial to more easily assign different members to specific parts of cards or action items.
There can be bugs sometimes. When more than one person tries to edit the description at the same time, it can do some unexpected things. I would like to see that improved. Sometimes they add new features, which can be either welcome or odd. More control over email notifications would also be helpful.

Trello could improve from a UI and UX standpoint and should consider adding enhanced functionality from a release management standpoint. Additional features for release management in the style of Jira would be beneficial.
It is somewhat challenging to move to the automation part of Trello. This is based on feedback from our team members who have tried to implement automation features.
Trello was a little complicated initially because we didn't know how to use it, create a product backlog, or define the work items. The solution could be made easier for new users.
Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first. The recording session works well, but introducing dynamic control can cause glitches and loss of control. To address this, we need to manually extract elements from all test boxes and ensure the dynamic code is executed within them for proper functionality.
In terms of improvements, adding more artificial intelligence and making it more user-friendly in terms of design could be beneficial. However, given its user-friendly nature, there's not much to criticize.
The tool should be able to predict the task completion dates based on the date assigned and sprint dates. It is also not commercial compared to competitors.
The product could add more features. It must be more robust and a bit more comprehensive. Improvements also depend on Trello’s goal and business model. Reporting features could be improved.

Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications. For example, I get an email notification from every card I comment on, which can be tedious at times. They should prioritize sending out only important notifications that are significant to me. I would like to only receive important emails to avoid spending time on irrelevant things. I can’t think of anything now but there is room for improvement. There’s definitely room for added features.
There are mobile apps for the solution. Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS. If we have one notification, the iOS app shows seven. It indicates that the notifications are still unread. The notifications on mobile apps must be improved.
The product does not allow the linking of tasks. We cannot link tasks that are dependent on each other. There is no field to indicate the budget allocated and consumed for a particular task. The meeting should have recording facilities.

In terms of improvement, the mobile app could be better. When I last used Trello, the mobile app is an HTML5 version. It's not really native to mobile apps, so this feature isn't really integrated as much as it is when we use it on the web. Another way Trello could be improved would be with better integrations with other tools like Teams and different calendars. I don't know if they charge extra for a calendar feature but it should be included. We would need to use a separate calendar to set reminders for the week. Ultimately, we don't always track our activities through Trello. We use other resources like our email. It is important for there to be better integration between Trello, email and our calendar.

Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager. This would help me monitor my team or my tasks more effectively. I would also like the ability to export raw data about my tasks.
We haven't had any issues with Trello. I'd like to see features that could help us generate reports or automatically send things to emails. We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful.
It would be great if there was a tour for new users to explain how this solution works. Using this solution for the first time can feel complicated. This solution could also be improved by removing the contradiction that seems to exist in the options of filters that can be used.
It is not a scalable product. There are no features that are lacking. We're pretty happy with its functionality. They could offer more integration with other tools - especially those that test some requirements in tickets.

Trello is already a very rich tool with Analytics and automation capabilities and ability to integrate with multiple storage formats One can also customise their categories according to one’s needs and add validation rules to that. What I have especially found useful are the analytic capability with the ability to create ready to consume charts etc and give various slices and dices of it. I think the only additions I can think of are possibly enabling Many more categories such as whether it is a risk or defect or issue And, possibly RAG status can also be enabled at a checklist level We are exploring the Gantt chart capabilities of the solution and would like to see a strong Gantt chart capability to give us a one shot linear view of the project
Its hard to say what could be improved in Trello, because it does what it was designed to do, and it's simple, so it's really hard to come up with any flaws. If I were to name one, it will be for the solution to have more integrations, e.g. they already have quite a few, but we're heavy users of a CRM called Creational, and there's no direct integration with that particular CRM system, but that CRM system is one of the top five CRMs out there. I found it quite odd and strange that integration between Trello and Creational isn't available, while for Salesforce, it's there. Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement for Trello. I also haven't actually looked too much into it, and I'm not sure if this is currently available in Trello: having something along the lines of WhatsApp, where you're able to hold down a button and leave a voice message for your colleagues. It's an additional feature I'd love to see in the next release of Trello, because I think that's also a very quick and great way to be able to communicate with your colleagues. It'll be so much quicker than having to type long sentences or paragraphs to explain. Having voice messaging as an additional functionality in Trello would be great.
There should be some quick videos and little bites right there in the app to help those who are new to it to optimize what it can do. I haven't done enough digging, and it is possible that they exist. If there are pre-done templates or suggested templates for various fields, they would be helpful for me as a coach.
* Video call and messaging for the online conference: 2020 was the time for remote working and online conferencing while social distancing deterred people from going out. I think, as an online collaboration tool, Trello should include an online meeting feature as it would allow members to meet, discuss, and share ideas. * Analytics: Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline. Besides, I want to know the time spent on each project and the potential issues that occurred.

There aren't as many tracking tools. If you use Agile as a methodology, Trello doesn't really fit very well. It cannot run at the speed of the team or show pending tasks and backlogs as well. Those types of features aren't really on Trello. Something such as Jira is much more adept at Agile. The product doesn't handle heavy loads very well. The information does not load quickly once there's a lot of information in the system. IT needs some sort of load balancer to allow it to take on more information and load more quickly.

I cannot think of anything specific that should be added. The system is pretty much good as it is. Maybe being able to position cards below each other could make better use of screen space.
In terms of time, recording the service can be improved. Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent.
Trello is the visual collaboration tool that creates a shared perspective on any project. Trello’s boards, lists and cards enable you to organize and prioritize your personal and work life in a fun, flexible and rewarding way.
It is hard to track completed requests and show performance based on closed cards.
