Trello: A Project Manager




     Writers whether indie, traditional, or hybrid have more tasks on their plates these days. Trello is a great app to organize all things writing. This cloud-based program allows users to create a project board, add dozens of tasks, and share them with others.
The format is visual. Multiple projects can be seen on the screen and each board/card can have several layers to it. The system is similar to Google Keep but with the ability to shuffle the cards into larger projects.
Trello is Google Keep on steroids. It goes beyond the simple list-keeping capability. Options on Trello include checklists, due dates, labels, team members, sharing, and attachments. Then there are Power-ups and links to more apps!
Many writers today work with partners in co-writing, editing, critiquing, and brainstorming. Trello allows users to update projects in real-time. Due dates, new tasks, and other items (docs, pics) can be shared with the group with a few clicks.
It’s the digital planner you didn’t know you needed.
And the best part, it’s free.
