I’ve been using Trello for almost 4 years for PM work, project management, and community projects, and the simplicity is still its biggest strength. The visual boards make it easy to keep everything organized, and it adapts well to different types of workflows.

What needs improvement

limited for complex workflows (7)expensive paid version (3)

For bigger or more complex projects, Trello can feel a bit limited. More native features for hierarchy, dependencies, and advanced automation would make it even more powerful.

With a platform spanning 7 modules and dozens of moving parts across product, content, and launch, I needed a visual, frictionless way to keep priorities clear. Trello's simplicity is exactly what a lean founder needs: no setup overhead, just focus. Been using it for years.

Love, love, loveeeeee Trello Forms! This was what I was missing for my business and it has helped take my company to the next level! Though there are some aesthetic features missing, I know they are in the works such as being able to brand the form to my company colors, control the font etc. My clients love the ease of use with the form and it comes in so neatly into our trello boards! Highly recommend this product!
