Overview
Trello is the tool people recommend when someone has never used a project manager: a board, lists and cards explain themselves in seconds. Power-Ups and Butler automation quietly extend it further than its simplicity suggests, handling recurring tasks and cross-board workflows. It starts to creak when work needs dependencies, workload views or formal reporting — that is usually the moment teams graduate to heavier platforms, often reluctantly.
