Tool profile
Card-based kanban for lightweight planning—onboarding is minutes, not Jira certification.
Sprint boards for teams allergic to Jira
Trello trades enterprise workflow machinery for approachable boards, lists, and cards. Free tiers cover hobby use; paid plans unlock power-ups, automation quotas, and admin controls. It maps to dev workflow for small squads, content calendars, and support rosters that do not need a 40-field issue schema.
