My academic library has recently experimented with using
Trello as a project management site. We
were looking for a way to organize summer projects in a way that combines the
staff, student workers, resources, and other necessities required in one
place. Another feature is that everyone
can see what you are working on which reduces that “I do everything around here”
feeling.
What is Trello?
“Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes your projects
into boards. In one
glance, Trello tells you what’s being worked on, who’s working on what, and
where something is in a process.” --- Trello Help
My experience
Trello, so far is easy to use and free to sign up for. You essentially create a board, and place a list of cards (ideas) on the board. You can then add comments to a card. It has some design features that I have
issues with, but I am working around that.
I have a Book Display board with active displays as well as display
ideas. One feature I like is that I can
link Pinterest pins directly to a card on a Trello board. So if I like this display idea pin I can
directly link it to the Trello board so when I want to create it I don’t have
to search very far. My boss likes it
because if we ever need something else to work on she has a board waiting.
Do you Trello?
