Trello

Trello is the opposite of a heavy project management tool. It’s visual, lightweight, and easy to understand at a glance. But don’t get confused, that simplicity is a feature, and not a limitation. Trello works beautifully for content calendars, client tasks, simple to-do lists, and projects where you want clarity without complexity.

Trello has also been evolving, and it now lets you easily collect tasks from email and messaging apps (like Slack and Teams) so action items don’t get lost in conversations. And if you want Trello to do work for you, its automation tool, Butler, can help you even outside of the platform. For instance, you can use it to post to Slack, create Jira issues, and more.

Trello is a great remote-work choice when you want a shared single view that everyone can understand without training. If your team struggles with tool fatigue, Trello’s simplicity can be a relief.
