What Trello is

Trello is a work management tool for planning projects, organizing workflows, and tracking tasks visually. Teams arrange work on boards, then use lists and cards to follow projects and individual tasks. Inbox captures details, while Planner syncs calendars and helps set aside focused time. Built-in automation can handle recurring tasks and workflows. Power-Ups connect boards to more than 200 apps and integrations, including Slack, Google Drive, Jira, Salesforce, and Microsoft Teams; developers can also create Power-Ups through the API. Trello is cloud-only, with access through web, desktop, and mobile apps. The free plan permits up to 10 collaborators and 10 boards per Workspace, with 10MB per file and 250 Workspace command runs each month. A Workspace can try Premium for 14 days at no charge. Paid plans start at $5 per user per month when billed annually. Trello lists encryption in transit and at rest, plus SOC 2 Type 2, FedRAMP authorization, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO/IEC 27018.
